"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Socialists In Space

by Lee

Nothing promotes innovation like big-government socialism.

Scientists conducted a successful test of a German-made prototype of a future European space shuttle on Saturday. In 20 years, the vessel could shuttle satellites and humans to space.

The US first fielded its space shuttle over 20 years ago.  It’s been a massive boondoggle in terms of cost and usability, to the point that NASA is planning on retiring the fleet and going with smaller, cheaper alternatives.  It is a testament to the power of Europe’s massive government infrastructure that in twenty years they hope to finally be at the point that the United States was at a quarter century ago. 

They hope to put a man on the moon by 2069.
