Ok, my turn. Everyone and their sister have given their spin on the new NASA budget and the views have covered the full spectrum of the death of Human Spaceflight to the birth of a new era and the rebirth of robotic exploration.

What role should NASA play in enabling space commerce? For me, the benefit for NASA would be greater infrastructure that NASA could leverage as it explores beyond LEO.

Commercial Space: Is LEO about to get a little more crowded? Sep 26, 2008 12:53:27 PM | Steven Gonzalez
 
When asked about Commercial Space, one consultant from a company known for their scenario planning stated that he couldn't comment on their success, but he could state that the collective amount of discretionary funding available by the "New Space" community exceeds the NASA budget. With that amount of investment focused on one goal; it is only a matter of time before they are successful. So what are some of the investments being made outside of NASA?
