Based on their track record to date, that means sometime in early
2010.

-Resolved: To be more temperate in my postings.
Oct 5th, 2004 JDL

*I sure hope this works*!! However. I think too many postings
here reflect an incomplete point of view which could be greatly
remedied by a little outside reading. This would include, Buzz
Aldrin and John Barnes, 'The Return,' (paperback, 2000). I can
see very few of the people here have ever spent one minute in
the kinds of social and industrial environments these space
machines such as Falcon come out of; have ever listened to Elon
Musk and others talk about what they're doing, what sorts of
problems they must overcome, and etc. For a lively and relevant
introduction, 'The Return' looks good to me.

The remedy is read around, learn to recognize not knowing *all*
on the topic, go on from there. I think 'The Return' is an
excellent starting point, but books such as Kranz, 'Failure Is
Not an Option,' Chaikin, A Man On the Moon,' Poynter, The Human
Experiment,' Zubrin, 'The Case for Mars,' DeGroot, 'Dark Side
of the Moon,' Shayler, 'Apollo, the Lost and Forgotten Missions,'
offer a good base to build on if you want to post usefully
here.
