And considering that the private sector is only now doing what NASA was doing nearly 50 years ago, I won't hold my breath for hot dog stands on the moon.

Ask Mr. Rutan how difficult it would be to satisfy the certification requirements of NASA and the FAA and you'll understand why that hasn't happened.

NASA has been a great system for the space contractors in the paperwork business though.

If we've already been to the moon in the 60's... why is it 'gonna take 15 years to do it again?!

I'd just have NASA focus on this an forget the other 'geek-projects'.
