> Obviously you just ignored the Concord!

Ahhh the comment you'd added to a previous thread after I'd moved on to another. Well I'll respond now. Concord was a comercial success for over 20 years. So ACTUALLY it prooves my point not yours. Just because as the craft go older it developed safety probles, is nothing new, see the space shuttle as another good example of this.

see above

No Stephanie, Merc, and Peski all agreed with me an no one agreed with you about the commercial possibilities of space flight.

actually it can... but you've already shown an unwillingness to research and understand the situation, along with a complete lack of understanding about how businesses run, so I'm not going to encourage you to read up on the subject .... again. Besides your arguement is only going to hold water if you can proove that the entire world banking system will collapse within 5 years to stop the commercial space flight projects. Can you?

but how is this going to stop a commercial space flight venture from taking off within 5 years (and remember the actual plan is within 3 but I'm giving them an extra two for comfort).

actually the evidence is as you have already stated. Technology and research jobs are already moving away from the US. It is a continuing and will become an increasing trend if your graduates can't cut the mustard at science.

Society is controlled by democracy, but science isn't. If what you suggest above was true then if the public voted against gravity, apples would stop falling from trees. The world doesn't work like that. Science is science, belief is belief. You are wrong!

Where did I say we should not have democratic elections to decide who governs us. Oh I didn't. Your making it up AGAIN! Another strawman arguement answering a question that you wanted to answer rather than one I actually asked.
