Last week, the world celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon. But two years before that milestone, Congress had already terminated funding for most of NASA's post-Apollo plans. The agency has pretty much been in a holding pattern for the past 40 years. Its recent attempt to break out of it with the Constellation programme of Ares rockets, an Apollo-inspired crew capsule and an Altair lunar lander is in big trouble. Where do we go from here? Where should we go from here? Well you know what we think now don;t you...The Kingdom of Muin of course..
