I like it. Now, are you saying a space policy that sucks less than the current “compromise” approach forced on us by our “wise and frugal” Congress? Cause that doesn’t sound like much of a challenge.
I think that if aliens bent on preventing mankind from becoming spacefaring had somehow taken over Congress, they’d have to give up because they couldn’t find a way to possibly screw up our odds of achieving that goal more than Congress has already done.
And yes, you can use that line. 🙂

Sen. Hutchison’s office is in Houston where I was on business on Tuesday. I took the time to stop in and tell the staff they’re making a mistake by not giving more support to SpaceX and Blue Origin, two firms each with a big Texas presence. And NewSpace in general which is the shortest path to space settlement.

How about:
A space policy which is less vacuous
Since sucking creates a vacuum, and a good space policy would put more people and capital into the vacuum, wouldn’t you want a space policy that sucked more?
The business of space is business.
[lightbulb] and the business of vacuum is sucking?!
