    you are correct,

    and just my own .02001 USD, both Tyson and Musk are Correct.
    Government programs will carry the heavy lifting until the commercial side sees a way to make a profit.
    but this is what Musk is trying to prove. that you can make a business model. i'm cheering him on like there is no tomorrow, but he hasn't done it yet.
    we need more people like Musk. we need more people willing to invest in private space industries(not just the tourism).

    what really annoys me is when you have people trying to move fwd on one side and S#!^ like this ( http://www.space-travel.com/reports/Russian_rocket_engine_export_ban_could_halt_US_space_program_999.html ) on the other.

    remember the hack where you add back doors to a compiler.
    then the comiler adds back doors to anything it compiles (including it's self) regardless if the code being compiled is clean.
    the algorithm used is not the point anymore.

    I suspect you are confusing two different issues.

    the San Antonio and Austin areas are very protective of the Edwards aquifer recharge zone.
    Most caves in the region eventually feed back to the aquifer.
    The caves are sealed to help protect the aquifer from you contaminating it.

    That said the same geologists who prevent me as a spelunker, from enjoying my hobby, would honestly rather be searching for arrow heads and other artifacts themselves. once the caves are sealed no one will ever be able to go in again, so they inform local universities to some of it can be salvaged.

    no one likes it, but it has to be done to protect the aquifer.
