NASA Wants To Fund Space Taxis

Posted by samzenpus on from the would-you-like-a-trip-to-the-stars dept.

NASA plans on using $50 million in stimulus funds to seed development of a commercial passenger transportation service to space. Potential space taxi inventors have 45 days to submit their proposals. The proposals will be competitively evaluated and the winners will be announced by the end of September. It is unclear what other Commodore 64 games NASA plans on making a reality, but I hope Arkanoid makes the short list.

    I sense Luddite/Republican/Libertarian outrage coming on (not that I've got a personal problem with most Luddites/Republicans/Libertarians). What do you want to bet we'll get Sarah Palin complaining about this in a week?
