The Wrong Stuff Redux

Like with Apollo when money was no object, govt mentality NASA yet again sacrifices long term operating costs and efficiencies for a short term decisions. Sea recovery complicates re-usability beyond practicality. Also, use of hypergolics vs propellants like methane and O2 blow away any future space derived propellant economies. Making the same mistakes again, that's our NASA!

For those of you skeptical of this viewpoint, I called it regarding the ISS boondoggle long ago on the MSNBC site.
