This is why Libertarianism has devolved into an idealistic, loser political party with only a hardcorps of devotees living in a fantasy world of life as it was in the late 18th Century to before the Civil War era.

I used to be a Libertarian, but gave up on it when I became aware that they would do even more than the status quo to gut space budgets and devalue space anything in the grand scheme of things overall. In fact, no political party as a whole in the US or around the world cares a whit for anything space, despite VSE and President’ Bush’s non statements regarding it since January.

Obviously the answer to how to get to space via the political process lies elsewhere besides conventional means.
