in such a way as to indicate that:

NASA is a Socialist orgainization. By this I mean it an organization
with goals and budjet set the the government. There is no competition.
If a NASA solution costs 10 times as much as a competitive product it
will use its political muscle to force its solution.

Cost per Kg of LEO launch vary enormously, with NASA being the most
expensive and Soyuz, Long March the cheapest.

NASA doesn't launch anything other than the Shuttle, you ignoramus.

Best way - everyone to launch on Soyuz/Long March until someone can
compete.

Do you mean like Delta, or Atlas?

What about Ares? One other question for you. How is it that the
Republican party can live in the gutter (It isn't just you although
you are a good example) and yet profess region and espouse Intelligent
Design? We emerged from the slime and seem determiined to live there.
