Frankly IMO, long term space mission planning should be like planning
a military campaign. Small minds talk tactics, or technology.
Mediocre minds talk strategy, or engineering. Great minds talk
logistics. All too often the 'sexy' engineering or 'l33t' technology
is considered more important than the dull-but-vital matter of
logistics planning.



I'm working on a long essay on exactly this angle, Derek.

Re great minds and logistics, is that quotable? grin
