With no heavy lift? I’ve read you stuff and I have the utmost respect for you, but I’ve never understood your logic. Heavy lift is what we need to get the apparatus to the moon to get the helium 3. When we have that then we have real clean fusion power–and real space propulsion for going outside of our own earth/moon neighborhood.
But that will not happen without heavy lift, period.
I also believe in Burt Rutan, and everything he has done, and the way he has done it, but… NASA needs to do the heavy lifting. Don’t ask me for libertarian political purity on this, because I can’t supply it–but just for the sake of argument, what if Barry had really cared about this country and it’s future and had laid out $50 billion for the immediate building of a real moon program.
