Giving billions from one government agency to another doesn't sound like it would create real innovation to me.



Is innovation needed, in order to colonize Earth orbit?

I don't believe governments have what it takes to make any good, big idea in space viable. We're biased towards believing that because of the space race, but I don't think it will ever happen again.

So even if something isn't new tech, the innovation will be the group doing it. I'm really excited about the private efforts today.
