I want NASA involved - no one in the US has any experience with human spaceflight except for NASA. But a program built on a foundation of thoughtful research and optimization seems a far better opportunity for a meaningful long-lasting space program than efforts that are artificially constrained by budget and schedule to take less than optimal paths.<br /><br />People frequently say, anything is better than nothing, but, when it comes to high visibility one-shot efforts where lives are on the line, I'm not sure I agree with them.
