Now is the Fork in the Road for the President and Committee


The Augustine commission is wrapping up. A great summary of one of their last public meetings can be found here.

I think that this panel has their heads on straight: commercial space needs to be putting people in LEO, not NASA,

NASA doesn't have enough money to do explore anywhere anytime soon

Mars is the ultimate goal

Prizes for companies that accomplish milestones in space are a good thing to do...

Yeah, I think that those are the general points.

Tell the committee what options you think that they should recommend to the president.

Tell the president what options you think he should choose. I have.
