He's all over the map politically, whining about individual liberties erosion, but I heartily agree with the libertarian bent in following...

"There are a lot of people out there like Chris, from the amateur rocketeers launching their own creations on weekends, up to such large-scale private efforts as Armadillo Aerospace and official X Prize contestants like XCOR. Dismissing them for falling short of Saturn V's and spacewalks would be a grave mistake. They've mastered a fundamental truth: we aren't going to get a spacefaring civilization by waiting around for the government to hand it to us. We'll only get it through our own efforts… and those involve "inventing the technology we can afford." It's the only way to get the price to fly below $20 million a seat."
