Re: OT: They did it!
If this wakes up the US Congress to NASA's need for proper funding and direction then it's a great thing. The space agency has been in the doldrums since the end of Apollo. We need a big push to develop a truly re-usable space vehicle so it can be released to commercial uses. There are plenty of good technologies available. It's been 30 years since the creation of the shuttle! We can do much, much better if we just have some motivation in the govt. to pay for the initial development. No private industry group is willing to spend the necessary billions on something they might not be allowed to exploit commercially.
