Happy Holidays to you: now to business.

Nautilus-X would be good for the NEO and L-Point missions. But, and
here's
the caveat: outsourcing Human exploration to private contractors is a
political dead end. Remember the furor over ObamaSpace last year? You'd
get
that and then some. No way would that pass Congressional muster. No
offense,
but if you dared suggest that to Congress, it'd be sent to the trash
after
you left.-

theres very limited bucks.......

outsourced cost X

nasa direct cost X times 20

this will likely result in doing zero


In your dreams, Bobbert. Still clinging to the fantasy of mass-producing MER
type rovers, hmm? Hard to do that when both flight articles and the testbed
at JPL were literally HAND-BUILT. Your political ignorance never ceases to
amaze....
