Kill the Congressional Launch Vehicle

摘要

It is good to see some in the NASA leadership try to embrace new transportation systems to and from die near frontier of Earth orbit that are financially responsible, create jobs over the long term and show faith in the concept of the "Made in the USA" It is sad to see that some in the agency, old aerospace and their pals in Congress (oddly including so-called fiscally conservative Republicans) are pushing hard for billions of our tax dollars to be spent on projects that are being cancelled, supporting the Russians so they can better compete with U.S. commercial space firms and placing huge down payments on giant socialist spaceships we aren't even sure we need - and that if we did would be better and much more cheaply designed, built and operated by our commercial space sector.
