National Space Society - NSS - Impact On Human Space Exploration?

Is the National Space Society really a open and free organization, or is it just a front organization for exclusive interests of a small few?

Dude, that's a letter from 1990...

15 years ago. Hosted on a site that seems 99% under construction. Section 'updates' is years old, etc...

What's your point?

Re: National Space Society - NSS

How is that letter something that anyone would post here anyway?

It's boring and says nothing about Mars plans.  What do we care about internal memo's?

Come up with a cheaper access to space and you will have something.

Instead, he came up with a cheap shot at a space-related organisation, must've been confused, darn those semantics!

I've met George Whitesides in person. IMHO, he is not a Nazi!

Actually, since George has been a major player in "Yuri's Night" maybe he's a communist. Those Fulbright scholars, you never can tell.

And that "Peace - Love - Space" stuff he has supported.

You never know.
