I completely agree that those things need to come first. But we've got a couple guys named Musk and Bigelow working on that, along with lots of other commercial entities.<br /><br />ACCESS needs to do those things that others won't but that need to be done to become space-faring. For example, if no one is planning an Asteroid scouting mission, we need to do one.<br /><br />Nearly everyone has their own personal space vision. Almost none of them match perfectly. But there's a lot of overlap. Plus, there are only so many places to go with manned missions, and Moon / Mars covers a lot of territory. Space keeners don't need another Mars society or Selene project. They need a banner to rally under, a very big tent we can all set up shop in. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
