The moon program is over. Get used to it.

Sorry, Henry, but Usenet really is dying. The interesting
conversation is happening on the web now.

We have high technology, the trolls don't bother us at all anymore, and there is no way in hell, unless they implement extreme moderation, that they can stop anyone from posting anymore. Implement extreme moderation, and what you end up with is NASASpaceFlight, or Unmannedspaceflight, dry tasteless and uncreative shitholes stalked by wannabee knowitalls/mods.

Just read it, and it's excellent. I wonder who "anonymous" is.

He's a fucking crybaby. He a 'doing a heckava job, Alberto' kind of guy.

Yes, many do. He (or she) is writing some of the most trenchant stuff
on space policy on the web right now, and (s)he only does it in
comments sections, mostly at Jeff's site.

No, Plan B is the most cogent thing written yet. Rand can't read the writing on the walls. The republicans and the neocons are finished. Michael Griffin is finished. VSE and ESAS are finished. What these fucking Paul and Anne Spudis types need to start doing is to look for another space transportation system, and to start figuring out how to do science remotely, like the rest of us have to do on a daily basis. It's not as if meteors don't hit the moon on a daily basis now, do they.
