We've known since the '70s that NASA would end up like Amtrak if they tried to be StarTrack. 40x more expensive puts Amtrak to shame.
But we've known for a long time that space exploration would have to be done by private commerce.
“The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” — Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)

I don't care who puts the first colony on the moon. It's time. We should have been there long ago.
I agree with Linda and have to say, where is all the benefit we were supposed to get from technology?
Sure, we have better gadgets and much faster comms but... everyone's working just as hard and mostly for less money.
For that matter, where's our moon base, dammit.
