The moon program is over. Get used to it.

Sorry, Henry, but Usenet really is dying. The interesting
conversation is happening on the web now.

We have high technology, the trolls don't bother us at all anymore, and
there is no way in hell, unless they implement extreme moderation, that
they can stop anyone from posting anymore. Implement extreme moderation,
and what you end up with is NASASpaceFlight, or Unmannedspaceflight, dry
tasteless and uncreative ********s stalked by wannabee knowitalls/mods.

Just read it, and it's excellent. I wonder who "anonymous" is.

He's a ****ing crybaby. He a 'doing a heckava job, Alberto' kind of guy.

Yes, many do. He (or she) is writing some of the most trenchant stuff
on space policy on the web right now, and (s)he only does it in
comments sections, mostly at Jeff's site.

No, Plan B is the most cogent thing written yet. Rand can't read the
writing on the walls. The republicans and the neocons are finished.
Michael Griffin is finished. VSE and ESAS are finished. What these
****ing Paul and Anne Spudis types need to start doing is to look for
another space transportation system, and to start figuring out how to do
science remotely, like the rest of us have to do on a daily basis. It's
not as if meteors don't hit the moon on a daily basis now, do they.
