"The Board does believe that NASA and the nation should give more attention to developing a new “concept of operations â€for future activities –defining the range of activities the country intends to carry out in space –that could provide more specificity than currently exists. Such a concept does not necessarily require full agreement on a future vision, but it should help identify the capabilities required and prevent the debate from focusing solely on the design of the next vehicle. "
The CAIB team came close to stating that principle but not quite. You overlooked the importance of those comments with your stealth comments. I will agree somewhat with one baby step though and that is LEO access. It is fundamental to everything else and can be focused on as a near term goal and first step. However, if you don't look at the long term goal you may discard what you need beyond LEO or choose a path to LEO that is merely the best to reach LEO not best to go beyond it.
