Space X Falcons To Do NASA's Job

Elon Musk's SpaceX is preparing for at least 12 launches of the Falcon9 heavy payload kerosene / liquid oxygen rockets for NASA.

Since January, SpaceX's heavy-payload Falcon 9 launch vehicle has stood 180 feet above Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral, undergoing ground-systems tests in the run-up to its first test flight. The reusable Falcon series, named for the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars, has nine engines that provide more than a million pounds of thrust. Last September, the smaller, 70-foot-tall Falcon 1 became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to orbit the Earth. _PopSci

NASA is too busy chasing the global warming delusion to focus on its former primary mission: space launch. That is why NASA is contracting out the space launch business to private contractors. Now that the rocket scientists have all retired, all who remain are computer climate modelers. Like Jumping James Hansen (NASA GISS), famous inspiration for Al Gore.

The answer is not bigger government space agencies. The answer is for private enterprise to find profitable uses for space. Uses of outer space that not only support themselves, but also fund further exploration into the void.

Obama the clown wants to grow government so large that nothing else will ever become powerful enough to escape the net. The zombies call it a safety net. But any safety net that is too big to fail is also too big to allow you to be free.
