If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times: "NASA stands for Never Access Space Again!" -Burt Rutan, Oshkosh '91. I was there and got to see him make fun of some non-descript astronaut. Everybody in the tent howled with laughter as the astronaut shut up and sat down. I later ran into Mr Rutan at the X-Prize display and shook his hand.
Yep, we could make some real progress if they'd get the Government out of the space program. The New World was settled for greedy reasons - gold, spices, tobacco, etc. NOT for national pride. Let Big Business know it can be profitable, and let them access it - we'll be "out there" in no time at all!
