Former astronaut Don Peterson had a misguided op-ed the other day opposing the Orbital Space Plane.
While I’m no fan of the OSP, and think that it should be stillborn (and perhaps in fact is, though it will cost us billions and years to realize it), he opposes it for all the wrong reasons. He’s too much blinded by his Shuttle experience. I was going to comment on it, but now I don’t have to, because the Marsblogger has, at least as well as I would or could have.
