I have to admit, pretty damn cool;
For thirty year old technology that has a one in eighty chance of ending badly.….
We cannot get space exploration out of NASA’s hands fast enough.
They have had their chance, and have failed to be able to make the decision to really push forward with new technology.
If anyone from NASA is reading this, I feel bad for you. Your leaders are a bunch of spineless bureaucrats who let our idiot president dictate your vision.
How hard is it to come up with a real vision of space exploration? Or at least one better than what W can come up with
Hey Ward,
I ran across one of your press releases from your days over at Naval Air. I thought you were blowing smoke when you stated that you worked on the V-22 program, but had some reservations. Forgive me for doubting your credentials! Apologies!
Leaving the dig at Bush aside, I side with Dennis in the big picture. Someone smarter than me once said that our present spacelift technology is the equivalent of computers which run on vacuum tubes. We need transistors, so to speak.
And I have no idea where that technology is going to come from.

Very cool. I hadn’t seen launch footage from the shuttle-mounted cameras before. Thanks.
