Ja that might be part of it.  But I hafta wonder, and consider the source,
this is coming from ME, the hardcore space junkie:  we have been burned
twice, and badly both times, by big space programs, the shuttle and the
station.  Both times, big promises were made, both programs were really
expensive and both times were a bust.  And this is ME talking.  So what must
normal people be thinking?  

 

It causes me to wonder if skepticism for Keith's idea might be related to
those two misadventures.
