sci.space.policy impact on policy
sci.space.policy has tended to rather strongly overlap the Space
Access Society, such that it's probably a mistake to try and isolate either's influence alone. And I've seen a number of instances where ideas incubated in the SAS/ssp community, have become established policy. The X-prize and the recent NASA prizes, as a conspicuous example. Possibly the DC-X, or at least the DC-XA. The renewed interest in dense propellants and especially peroxide. Just off the top of my head. Some small but promising enterprises, such as XCOR, would not exist if not for SAS/ssp. Alas, there is in some respects a negative feedback at work here. The closer an idea gets to being "real policy" as opposed to just usenet fodder, the less freedom its proponents have to discuss it on usenet. So, in that respect, it may be a promising sign that sci.space.policy is in the doldrums. |

Usenet and its army of devout FUD-masters has done it to itself. Name one new idea introduced or any revised interpretation published originally via "sci.space.policy" that ever went mainstream. The only thing Usenet /newsgroups can claim besides their denial of being in denial is a great deal of "I told you so" topics, whereas the authors get no credits nor respect, and our NASA only continues to prove how dysfunctional and/or untrustworthy it truly is. http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
