So much would be possible if only we could get beyond the monopolistic corruption that still pervades our bureaucratic governments’ space programs. Related thread:
Did Astrium, an ESA-anointed monopolistic contractor, actually WANT its lean-budgeted Beagle 2 Mars mission to fail in order to secure greater funding for subsequent interplanetary missions funded by increasingly stimulated European taxpayers?
