The New (Private) Space Race
Published by Rod D. Martin September 17th, 2007
Nothing against Orion or the wonderful things government is doing to advance scramjets (and NASA’s cool new technology to eliminate sonic booms), but the real action is in the private sector. As usual.

I wonder what the road warriors of the hard left will be doing to counter the evil, sinister, conniving, imperialist, capitalist space colonizers.
The left brings to mind the way legalists view God, as a kind of cosmic kill-joy who, when spotting people having wholesome fun, yells, “cut that out!”
Look for the left to bellow accordingly whenever free enterprise does its thing.
