Re: Debate on FOX News' "O'Reilly Factor"
Mr. Sepp:
Thanks for the good feedback. I have forwarded this email to the Space
Future discussion group. It is a part of the Space Future web site,
devoted to promoting space commercializaion.
The URL is http://www.spacefuture.com
sf-discuss is a small, but growing discussion group. Unlike the haphazard
posts on the sci.space.policy news group, sf-discuss is very focused on the
issues of commercialization. You can submit messages to the group via the
following email address:
mailto:sf-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You will then automatically receive messages from the group via email.
I hope we can convince you to attend the Space Access or the Space Frontier
Conferences next year. It would be an eye opener.
BTW, at least one of the rocket companies with be starting their vehicle
test flights next summer.
We would love to hear from your experience with the government. We are all
veterans from the bureaucracy wars.
