NASA is an incredible resource for the US, and the world. But it should get out of the launch service. It should be a critical primary customer, and a resource for improving the business. It could certify service to LEO. It should do lots of research, both beyond Earth, and here. It should advocate homesteading outer space, with designs, research funding, and a support for critical businesses. It should get out of the transportation service for anywhere. That includes and starting with LEO, both human and freight. to Lunar orbit and landing, other Earth orbits, Mars orbits, landing, and moons, Asteroids, and beyond. It might help train astronauts, or astronaut trainers for companies. NASA needs to transform into a much more productive leading edge resource for the US, and the world.

Well at least it looks like you’re coming back full steam ahead. But I think your older rants were a lot better articulated, sounding almost true, dare I say a la Karl Rove. Forget Reagan! I think that you should try and reformulate them. If it is too obvious it’s too easy to refute. Come on a little effort. Have a good weekend then.

My original rant lamented that we have spent a long time chasing an expensive 3 way redundant solution to a problem that is getting relevant every year. NASA is wasting time. I stand by this, and I know the ghost of Ronaldus Magnus smiles upon me.

Windy only does this for the reactions he gets. Most posts then become about him. He should just be ignored.

Gentlemen: please take the name-calling elsewhere, and keep the discussion focused on the topics of the post. Thank you for your cooperation.

“I think Dark Blue Nine must be around 12 or 13 years old”

I’ve worked in the sector longer than that.

(But ouch! What a biting insult!)

“with his propensity for childish name calling.”

The other poster regularly doubles or triples this figure, despite repeated corrections, among other dumb lies. He’s a dummy. Make that a lying dummy.

Find a fortune 500 company that doesn’t have it’s own venture capital arm to fund new start ups that might be creating something they can either incorporate into an existing product line or as a future new product. I have to agree with Mr. French ..

Windosovich only likes the Stalinist big government, crony subsidies solution for NASA.
