By that I mean that the Federal space program is too timid and shortsighted to be effective. Enough is known about outer space, and it is obvious the Feds are not going to set up a space transportation infrastructure. So it is time, past time by 30 years, for the gov't to start recognizing private claims to celestial resources. They can update their mining law at the same time, it's always near the top of the workpile on the Hill anyway.
From reports, it sounds like private enterprise is the goal - leading to a vigorous space economy.
