As soon as the military is seperated from NASA the better I will feel.
 
Remember what NASA was supposed to be?  A civilian space agency. 
 
What happened back in the early 60's?  Military jet pilots were "hired" 
as astronauts, and it went from there.... 
 
The military even had a hand in designing the shuttle basics...and the 
accountants screwed up what was left of a semi-sound engineering 
design.  
 
The same thing is happening with the FREEDOM station at this moment.
The military wants XXX and XXX to keep an eye on the high ground, and 
the congressional bean counters are finishing the job. 
 
Think there would be any room in the station for scientists and actual 
science xperiments?  <grin>
