Don’t expect Obama to do the right thing, expect him to do the political thing. Allowing the private industry to leap ahead via contract incentives and X-Prize inspired competition is an effort that would make the great Robert Heinlein proud. Unfortunately it does not provide our current president with more votes, or more people on the public dole who will then vote for others of his party. We’re at a critical juncture on the road to space, its up to the president to choose the right path and LEAD. For a man who mainly votes ‘present’ and blames others for problems, my expectations couldn’t be lower.
