Rand,
Sorry I’m responding to this blog so late. Work, family, the usual. My ideas in this area are already well-known to you. But for the record, my solid belief is that we need a return to NACA, or at least a fundamental restructuring of NASA to work more in the NACA role. It would be OK with me for the restructured NASA to disseminate funding to the private sector to stimulate governmental priorities (ala COTS), but the work needs to be done in the private sector. Ultimately, I’d like to see the US government get out of the way, since it seems no longer capable of leading.
Dave
