There were nearly identical articles in Space News, the Washington Post and UPI.

I was somewhat disappointed by their decision to quote Hudgins. He has little grasp of space policy and essentially the same solution to all of the problems. A knowledgeable space reporter would know this and get a better source.

Several NASA employees and contractors working on ISS told me as much, and I believe them.

Obviously, such a vision falls well short of what I hope for as a citizen of the United States interested in the exploration and exploitation of space.

Perhaps an effort to link space with Iraq might elevate the space vision to the fore. Iraq seems to be the only thing covered in the nation’s so called global news coverage. Leverage that.
