The SpaceX Dragon space craft has been cleared for launch, tentatively scheduled for April 30th. This is a private space venture (which I support), but publicly funded as a resupply mission to the ISS (space station) – which I do not support. What I'd really like to see is open commercial competition for NASA's robotic explorers. Several private space companies are clamoring for exactly that, but the NASA bureaucracy is furiously resisting, of course.
We're doomed to the government we elect...
