The one thing I fear with a private enterprise would be whether their priority is safety or profit. With a government agency this is not an issue as you know for certain that they will lose money on whatever project they are working on.

Oh really? Tell that to the surviving family members of the space shuttle Challenger disaster....

Oh really? Tell that to the surviving family members of the space shuttle Challenger disaster....

No one ever said space travel was 100% safe.

My point was a govt agency will not sacrifice safety for profit.

Lightning near Guymon, Oklahoma
Most storms move fast.
This one crept over a farming community for more than an hour, bristling with electricity.
"No two storms are the same," says James LaDue, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
"No two skies are either."

Nice try... The Challenger disaster was avoidable. The engineers for Morton Thiokol, manufacturer of the solid rocket boosters, recommended against the launch due to the O rings not being designed for temperatures that cold on launch morning. Their opinion was overridden so that NASA could save face on the shuttle program which had been experiencing other public affairs issues....

Hey...I don't have any rep available to send Texan for this touching photo!!
Please.
Someone hit him for me.

And

Let me make this clear.
We only seconds away from Brian Williams(NBC) or Shepard Smith (Fox) announcing the last remaining WWII Vet passed away.
(Seconds away as in it will happen sooner than you expect it to occur.)

This PHOTO should should be on the frontpage, the first story, the MOST important news of the day.
This is what it means to be an AMERICAN.
