SkyLab II has forced the end of space socialism for the US

phil — 12/9/2001 2:07:00 PM (archived)

As I predicted years ago, the high cost, everything done to ludicrous QA standards, many without merit has made SkyLab II infeasible. This is news? Hardly. It's basic economics.

Read P. J. O'Rourke's excellent and hilarious "Eat the Rich" book on economics, especially the chapter on Sweden.
