Notice that our first and primary 'space goal' is security.
This sounds like something Kissinger would write.
The White House is like a computer.
White trash in....white trash out.


3. United States Space Policy Goals

The fundamental goals of this policy are to:

• Strengthen the nation’s space leadership and ensure that space
capabilities are available in time to further U.S. national security,
homeland security, and foreign policy objectives;


Wouldn't be surprised, President Bush uses a
science....fiction...writer for his advisor on global
warming. You know him, the guy that wrote
Jurassic Park.

Good. That's what we need. Another Cold War to get the Space Race
moving again.

What bugs me about that policy statement is the part "available in time
to.."

In time for N Korea??? I hope the time frame he's talking about
isn't before he leaves. I just have this feeling Bush has one more
campaign in mind for those last few months in office.

With a president like Bush, what's makes you think US would win this time?

Who cares?

A space race now will be good for getting mankind out of its craddle,
whoever wins it.

Hardly. The last one didn't actually make all that much progress in that
direction, and we're still trying to recover from its unpleasant side
effects (such as the deep assumption that doing anything in space costs
billions and hence is possible only for governments).

And cheering the idea of a new Cold War just for the sake of a space race
(assuming that the latter is an inevitable consequence of the former,
which is questionable at best) is appallingly naive. Guys, on several
occasions the last Cold War came horrifyingly close to wrecking our
civilization and killing just about all of us. There's no reason to
believe that we'd dodge the bullet a second time.

Optimist! What makes you think White Trash Out?

The fundamental goals of this policy are to:

Extend US military might into space and thus make the solar system
eternally safe for US capitalism, from all hostile take overs.

He consulted with Scotty, the engineer of the Enterprise, about the CEV.
From Earth to ISS to moon and back again with engines so powerful that it
had extra delta-v's to waste on out of the way detours. I'll bet it'd be
so fantastic that it would just romp on over to a near Earth asteroid just
to say hi, shake hands and rip off, without it's permission, a bunch of
it's rocks, all while it zipped on by.

Next thing we'd see is those asteriods coming by just to get
their rocks off.

Actually, I've wondered if this was a reaction to China using lasers
to blind our surveillance satellites as they overfly China. That's
been in the press lately.

Also, there are GPS jammers out there. I think we're cranking up the
power on future GPS satellites.

I think this was more about defending the surveillance,
communications, and GPS assets we have in space now from being
destroyed or jammed. I see it as a response to China's actions.
