VERY interesting Dave, thanks! This isn't the type of mining Erik and I were referring to, which was obtaining manufacturing raw materials for industry, but consumables needed for further space exploration. This is the first step, and a good one.
My opinion has always been there is much science that can be done in the temporary absence manned flight (besides Russia), although the Shuttle was important for Hubble.
The problem with expanded manned flight (moon base and mars mission) is that there are many unresolved details with few solutions in any other medium than science fiction. It was a mistake not to have a project to replace the shuttle before it was retired. This mistake was made almost a decade ago. Cameron was successful in his deep sea venture, but that required much less infrastructure than space missions. I assume they hope to use NASA facilities. American space programs will continue we just need to take a step back. On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 7:12 AM, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:

WELL.... Don't forget that Obamy shut down and cancelled what was supposed to be the follow-up to the shuttle... It's not NASA that isn't flying, it's YOUR president that isn't.... President Isn't...

Constellation was much...much more than a shuttle replacement.
