Re: Speaking of Nasa expertise
We are very spoiled. Back in the Apollo days, the 1960s, they were given just about everything they needed to get the job by 1969. It took them only 8 years to create the entire spaceflight infrastructure. Today we still have a lot of that infrastructure and it's going to take us 15 years, if that, just to repeat Apollo. Why? Because they don't have that blank check anymore. They have to fight fore every penny.
