Without 50% public support, it's going into the nearest toilet.

Why didn't the ISS have a referendum if $150 Billion has been spent so
far?

What does NASA have to show for it that's made nationally useful news?

What will NASA have to show that's does anything to spur growth in the
private sector that's worth $100 Billion over the next five years?

To me, it just seems like a total waste of human energy, as long as
nothing's being brought back from space that's worth anything except a
few more swollen heads to feed.

Myself and William Mook would have to agree with that.


Feasibility studies have been drawn out already to mine the asteroids
(example, John Lewis, Mining the Sky) and now there seems to be quite
a bit of controversy regarding how to get there and if the whole idea
is worthwhile - so why the difficulty with it? Why the coverup with
the Moon's "Orion" project in lieu of "50's Orion nuke-pulsed
spacecraft"? Why the campaign of disinformation? Why the fear of
masses of people going orbital? Why the fear of a metals glut? Who's
afraid of the competition? Why get the EPA excessively involved? Why
is "information" now so much more important to share with the
transnationalist global communications network , as they continue to
assume control over the masses, and consider THAT the more important
agenda than getting millions involved with orbital and interplanetary
business?

You know, it just gets tiresome without just a little more yankee
ingenuity making it to market - I'm starting to believe in the Tesla's
Pierce Arrow more than the new GM "makeover" - it's really disgusting
watching these unions grab obscene makeovers in the name of energy
efficiency.

No doubt that Tesla's Pierce Arrow with only a few refinements and
technological upgrades would become a terrific form of modern and
efficient transportation (as well as not much need of changing its
style either). Energy transmitted through the air is perhaps another
good one that we'll never get to utilize as long as Big Energy has
anything to say about it.

William Mook offers similar Tesla like innovations that are off the
hook, so to speak, as well as myself have a few manageable ideas that
should benefit the greater good of humanity and most other
biodiversity that's currently traumatized past the point of no return.
