I grew up around rocket science, lived at Cape Canaveral, and rejoiced with the Apollo project. Then NASA moved to Houston and became a total slave of the military space industrial complex and Congressional love of idiot heroic spaceman Bread and Circuses.

Cost overruns will continue to be a well padded opportunity for infrastructure and assist platforms, buildings and service vehicles.

What will it cost to build X? Well, 1.2X the cost, minimum. We’ll give you a discount if you let us design the specs and throw in a visitor complex and museum!
