As odd as it might sound, I'm excited about NASA's budget cuts. The more the load is taken off the government agency's shoulders, the more it is placed on the private sector's. Already the commercial space industry has arrived, with Virgin Galactic, SpaceX and Xcor, to name a few rapidly growing privately owned spacecraft companies. Science and technology are increasing at exponential rates (as always), and people like me are dreaming of manned missions out into the Solar System, dreaming of all the amazing discoveries to be made. NASA has been spinning its wheels with the Space Shuttle and the ISS, not getting anything extremely important done. I'm looking forward to some major rumblings and changes through the aerospace industry. I'm waiting for radical new ideas and designs. I can't wait to join in the fun!
