A few Notes

Mark Eby — 6/4/2003 10:45:06 PM (archived)

1) The internet was developed with government sponsorship not as a private initiative.

2) Private initiatives in space have repeatedly failed with often lame excuses blaming NASA that are no more formidable barriers than many technology start-ups have faced.

Regards,
Mark (all for private initiatives, but not betting on their success)
