You are right Grumpy Mike, I saw this quote on a baloon blog the other day :-
"We're making space more American. We're making space more democratic. We're making space more available, approachable and real to the average American."
- James Muncy, President of Polispace
Perhaps he should have added the Governmants aims :-
"thats why we retired the Shuttle, scrapped any the replacement project, and pay Russia to service the ISS "
