Thanks.  Gland you liked the site.

Yeah the public isn't very space interested, so the gov treats it as a works
program for their districts.  NASA geting pretty bad at working more to
control space, rather then opening it.  On the other hand industrial intrests
are driving a lot of work towadr low cost launchers, and the military has
gotten interested in developing spaceplanes for their purposes.  With two
powerfull interest groups like that pushing, things will move.

Send the poem, I'll forward it to the group.
