I'm going back in time to fix the space program. Y'all got any requests?
I'm serious now. Art Bell sent me his time machine plans.
Examples: Good request: "Prevent cancellation of Dyna-Soar program." Bad request: "Prevent Dan Goldin's parents from meeting." Worse request: "Make $1M investment in 1990s startup company selling Dan Goldin bobblehead dolls online." Corry -- It Came From C. L. Smith's Unclaimed Mysteries. http://www.unclaimedmysteries.net |

As well as the delta winged X-15 variant. Doing some of Phil Bono's VTOL concepts (not the mega-rockes like SASSTO right away, even the small one that would take a Gemini into low Earth orbit and return intact would've been adequate) or Chrysler's SERV would've been desirable, too. On the private side, someone ponying up enough money for Gary Hudson's Phoenix. |

Worse request: "Make $1M investment in 1990s startup company selling Dan Goldin bobblehead dolls online." Corry Not bad examples. But let's go back to 5 October, 1957: 1). Don't form NASA. 2). Provide substantial funding for NACA, JPL, ABMA and NRL for *competitive* programs. Base follow-on funding on results. 3). Offer guaranteed markets for low-cost space access by private entrepreneurs. But: no tickee, no washee. Payments for results only--not promises. Perhaps provide tax incentives and reduced barriers to raising money from the public--with more reliance on fraud prosecution and less reliance on trying to preclude fraud with cumbersome, expensive, overregulation.

Might have argued for a Skylab-5 mission to include a reboost. Might have gone for a higher reboost on Skylab-4 if possible. Might have re-activated Skylab earlier and put it in a low-drag orientation even sooner.

Assassinate John F. Kennedy in 1960. Better make it January 1960; that will
solve the Vietnam problem also. |
