Is NASA Covering Up the 100-Year Starship?
This probably is an attempt to gen up some support for NASA funding since it is facing a pretty dismal future in the hands of a very regressive chief exec.
It is interesting that they bring up as a problem, the anticipated lack of motivating considerations on the part of any prospective crew.
Perhaps in our future, Christian separatists will have a particular desire to live somewhere where they can have a religious freedom which will be rare here on the earth.
NASA was good but it never was adequately constituted for singly carrying out space exploration.
I have always wondered whether space exploration and development would not have been better financed and managed by one or two monopolies such that which was the widely disparaged Bell System or Ma Bell. If all the world's resources made available for space were divied up between maybe two such, competing, monopolies (oligopolies?), perhaps there would be significant progress.
