Default CEV to be made commercially available

On Tue, 15 Nov 2005 14:33:52 GMT, in a place far, far away, Scott
Lowther made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:


So
long as space is demonstrated to be hard and inaccessible, except to the
select few, the young will continue to seek careers in other more
exciting fields.


Ah. So you assume that ESAS will send out hit teams to Scaled Composites
and XCOR and Space-X to whack those trying on thier own?


It doesn't have to. It does enough damage as it is.

Seriously though, it's not the mass that counts, but what you do with it.

Yeah, the angle of the dangle equals the mass of the....excuse me, my

Probably. But then, when was the last time an astronaut did something?

McCall made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:


:Unfortunately, Apollo 2.0 does none of that. There is some lip service
:being paid to commercial resupply of ISS, but the entire foundation of
:Apollo 2.0 is NASA, right down to the launch vehicles and launch facilities.

Nothing stops anyone else from buying the same (or other) vehicles and
sending people.


Other than the fact that they're insanely expensive, that is. No one
other than a government would go to the moon the way that NASA has
chosen to do it.

What's need now is not an improvement in performance -
which comes from giant research programs - but improvements in cost,
reliability and maintainability... which comes from *experience.*


Which won't come from flying giant vehicles two or three times a year.
