Depressing stuff just keeps popping up on the radar. How many people in this country know who John Lewis is? But he is known in China. He is going to do commentary on the upcoming Chinese launch to their space station. China is serious about space. America is serious about building windmills using Chinese rare earth metals.
America spent over 100 billion dollars on the ISS, but can't send astronauts directly to it. For awhile last year, it was a distinct possibility that it would have to be abandoned. If it was to be abandoned, SpaceX's recent accomplishment would not have been possible. We were lucky. But we won't be lucky forever.
How many people care? The number appears distressingly small.
