9. Contract Burt Rutan and Sir Richard Branson...
...To develop a sovereign space station, and move there.

This Administration is wrecking the US governments ability to move into space. I think the private sector, left to its own devices, will do what the Government and NASA and space visionaries have been promising for the last 45 years, but failing to deliver.

Private enterprise can get into orbit. It can go to the moon for the resources to build in Earth orbit. It can move on from there in a sustainable manner to Mars.

With the right people, it not only can. It WILL.

And once they've gotten a foothold, they can tell these bastards on Earth to go to Hell. Or better yet, just leave them behind and let them go to Hell all on their own. That's something they seem capable of.

Were I a Founding Father.
