Their goal seems to be to show everyone that one can do a lot better than the bloated, rent-seeking monopoly that everyone associates with space travel. But, full disclosure: I work for the guv'mint, and if those big agencies were to disappear, I'd be out of work! :-)Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-70364998819182188692013-09-19T16:38:17.312-06:002013-09-19T16:38:17.312-06:00I don't know.
