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. Leaving the dig at Bush aside, I side with Dennis in the big picture.

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! Hey Ward,

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 I have to admit, pretty damn cool;
