More than 30 years have passed since I developed and taught the course Space Industrialization and National Priorities at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1977. The enabling technologies to achieve the space industrialization vision of Gerard K. O’Neil’s High Frontier have been developed and refined. Yet the results have fallen far short of that vision notwithstanding its technological feasibility.
The primary weakness that I see with US space policy is that it is far too timid. The manned space budget at 300 million is roughly in parity with the budget for fusion research.

The sustained expansion of human space activities requires the synergy of many independently developed systems and their enabling intellectual diversity. The prevailing approach of government funded, defense technology derived, space development programs alone is not capable of achieving sustained growth. National leadership and priorities vary on time scales much shorter than typical space system development cycles. Intellectual continuity is compromised by long development timelines, and the associated drifting of program focus. Entrepreneurial efforts have demonstrated shortened development timeframes,

Two designs for outer planet exploration probes are currently under consideration by ESA and NASA, with the aim of following up the highly successful missions of Galileo and Cassini/Huygens.
They are the Europa Jupiter System Mission (aka Laplace) and the Titan Saturn System Mission (aka Tandem). But despite their obvious similarities, only one will be approved, according to BBC news.

I should like to offer a cautious welcome to the new British Space Agency, announced by Lord Drayson on 10 December.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8404213.stm)
Apparently there is to be a competition to create a name and a logo. Some have suggested it should be called the Royal Space Agency. I am totally unable to understand the idea to link it to the archaic institution of the royal family -- I know of nothing they've done to promote it, and the Prince of Wales is well-known for his anti-technology views.

The recovery of manned spaceflight from the vicissitudes of the Shuttle programme continued in 2008, though at a barely perceptible rate.
Hopefully the pace will pick up in 2009 and beyond. Total man-days in space in 2008 come to 1,581.77, if my figures are accurate. This continues the recovery of the last few years, from a low of 794 in 2004, but does not yet challenge the record peak of 1746 man-days in the year 1997.
