Re:Why This Is Important but Won't Replace Shuttle (Score 1)

i don't think that was the point of the article. yes, it might contribute to technology which could help that in the future but the article mentioned nothing about commercial uses or benefits. i think if it was an investment for improved commercial uses that would be a good thing but to create such a device for space travel is not justified at the current cost - at least not while i have to pay for it (i.e. tax dollars)
