Space

I have found myself reading more and more about space. Along with drawing several space designs. However upon reading and learning more about space I am started to truly believe that we as a society are at a threshold when technology in the right hands with few resources can accomplish more then the same technology in lazy hands with lots of resources. Burt Rhutan and Scaled Composites built Space One in only a couple of years for the X-Prize. It would be amazing if someone created a Rocketry Wiki to promote the sharing of information from companies like Scaled Composites. With the collobration of these smaller rocket companies I believe you could see the first private space station with in the decade. NASA has seems more about looking good these days then actually exploring space. I am sure when the Dems win the next presidential election (which will suck) NASA's budget will be cut even more, which is a sad sad thing.
