At this point I’d have to say Space X has the best chance of getting our people back into space. NASA has lost too much ground, too much talent over the last five years to do it faster. If they’d contract with Space X and really get some juice into the system, we could tell Putin and the Russkies fine, if you want to play it that way, bugger off, we’re launching our own spacecraft.
