I finds that more and more each day he actually comes around to Obama's proposal of focusing NASA on orbital missions and putting alot of the weight on Commercial space industry. However feels uncertain as to whether commercial space can viably leave Earth Orbit (though certain Orbitals and moon reaching missions are within reason) within the next 15 or 20 years. However, The Increase of pressure may stand to create an industrial boom in a previously almost non-existent market. Though, does feel that the government will not be able to keep their hands out of space once the frontier becomes profitable for the people. Perhaps NASA would be invigorated by a more aggressive administration who sought to disenfranchise the commercial space entrepreneurs and extend military reach to space outposts under the guise of protection... but that's in generations to come. For now, let's see. Keep up the good work SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and company may industry prevail.

This one is just some neat stuff to chew on, ideas from as far back as the 60's and as recent as now.

I can't leave this half assed first blog without giving some mention to the recent passage of the Health Care Reform bill's main body of legislation and the beginning of a week or more (hopefully not too much more -looking at you obstructionists) of amendments. While we enter into this I would like people to take note of their elected officials' views and office phone numbers and, for my sake and your's push for a public option so we can take some great steps to keep premiums down while maximizing the benefits of our deductibles, eh? But my goals don't just stop there.
Next stop pushing for a Public Option, getting the troops home, Nuclear Disarmament, reformation of factory farming procedures, Legalization of marijuana, mimicking the Swedish narcotics reform program, reallocating defense budget to the noble sciences, kick starting a global commercial space race, In the process straightening out the economy and using the unemployed to flesh out new markets that will spring forth with a simultaneously brought about green industrial revolution to rival the original one. 20 years eh? I think I can do it, and so can you. Oh yeah, about forgot but... metric system anyone?
Now, here's those numbers so you don't have to look 'em up yourself.

Alright, so we'll probably be a little politically heavy until well.. until the world's perfect lol, but I will try and get on here later and post a little more on the world of science. Hopefully I've set a good pace for the rest of the blog, rehashing a lot of what I've talked about in less localized medium. Keep on diggin' the news, look to the stars, and remember if you don't call your senator with your opinion that doesn't mean other people aren't calling with theirs.
