I hope this doesn't cause a future "technology lull", where newer things that increase our standard of living become more and more scarce.
Sadly, I think it is by design... (No pun intended.)

Well, as long as our tax dollars aren't used I'm all for it.
Being facetious of course. But you can't complain about deficits then complain about a budget cut.

"[T]hat's also precisely what makes Stratos great. It's more like Mercury than the shuttle: They're taking risks, making things up as they go along. But they're also doing important work, potentially groundbreaking work. They're doing what NASA no longer has the balls to do. Hell, he'd do it for free. He is doing it for free. Stratos only picks up his travel expenses. Clark looks at his friend, shrugs. 'This is new space.'"
