We need a follow up to the Apollo program. The space shuttle is very pretty, and I had high hopes for it, but we need to move on. We need to get our act together and fix the space station to use it as a way point and not a destination. Southern polar region of the moon, anyone?
We need to put people with vision in charge of Nasa, get dreamers and tinkerers in there. Scaled Composites and Armadillo Aerospace come to mind. We need to get rid of those damned MBA's that are following the Peter Principle to the hilt.
