Lofty goal: 1,000 private spaceflights a year

MSNBC h/t Next Big Future

quote:
George Nield... thinks it's possible to double the number of permit-holding private launches every year for the rest of the decade. That exponential increase would lead to 1,280 liftoffs in 2019 — an average of 3 1/2 per day.

Comment:

A bit of snark here from yours truly:  If Romney is elected, he'd make sure to fire Nield.  His ideas sound too much like Gingrich's, and there's no use for zaniness in his administration.
