as already predicted a week ago in my latest article -- http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts2/052strangestory.html -- the Augustine Commission Report has give only options (EIGHT) but NO CLEAR ANSWERS
--
so, there are ZERO CHANCES for the (much less expert about Space) politics to decide the right things for NASA and the future of human space exploration
--
the "core" of the Report substantially is that "with more money NASA can do more" while "with less money NASA can do less"
--
it seems not to read a Report written by TEN "space experts" but only something that is so OBVIOUS to be Lapalissade -- http://ow.ly/oA6K
--
paraphrasing the (287-212 B.C.) Archimedes of Syracuse's statement "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth." -- http://ow.ly/oA6W -- the Augustine Commission (after THREE MONTHS of "hard" work...) is only able to say "Give enough money to NASA, and NASA will move beyond Earth."
