Today Nasa has announced it has wittled down the number of companies that are still in the race to take us to low orbit.http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12706352 They wont announce the winners but they are sort of announcing the loosers. Sure our NASA is a freaking mess due to Shuttle draining billions while sitting on the ground, and sure NASA is lost in space so bad it has to hire Russians to take us to the ISS. But this is a good thing if NASA doesnt screw it all up which iam sure they will before its over but i like Burt Rutans way of doing things and like tSpace vision of getting us to low orbit. Wouldnt it be nice to have a American company that can take us to space without blowing billions and killing folks on the way to space like shuttle has done twice. Though they arent a Shuttle replacement they are a way to space while NASA's 2 pet pee Giant corporations Lockheed/Martin & Northrop/Boeing drag their feet through Nasa's Beauracratic paper making machine to create a .............Apollo redo:rolleyes:
