Conservative Talk

"Of all the dispositions which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who would labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness.... The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and cherish them."

-- George Washington

Comment

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.

With estimates of 14,000 space tourists in a little more than a decade — complete with a space hotel by 2012 and serious corporate money already making it happen — the new world is here, now.
