Yeah I know it sound like sour grapes,but its more than that. Hell I'ld
like private secor people to out do NASA! I think NASA's been siting on
its reputation for over 20 years, and has unwittingly (I hope) convinced
people that space is imposible, impractical, and inaccessable for anyone
smaller them a multinational corporation. Space has been the most stagnent
frountier in centuries, and it doesn't need to be.

Don't you know the old tradition of watching the tourists falling into the

We can try. Well ... I do have this idea for mining oil from near earth
objects. Should be worth a couple hundred billion dollars each. If
anyones interested? ;)
