Re:Should *WE* go to the moon? (Score 1)

How about getting the US government to ease some of the regulatory burden? Just to do a suborbital shot can cost tons of money in regulation compliance. I'm not for letting everyone and his brother start throwing things around, but to get a launch license costs an enormous amount of time and money. The startup aerospace companies that want to do this are mired in environmental impact statements, archeological assessments, a 600 million dollar liability policy and a major turf war in the FAA over who controls everything.
