Yet More RTTM Blogging
Jeff Krukin points out another shortcoming of the Aldridge Commission report. It doesn't contain the word "settlement," settling (as it were) instead for the more neutral (and neutered) phrase, "extended presence." It remains focused on exploration, and not the broader vision.
He is announcing the formation of a new Space Frontier Foundation project to rectify the public perception of space as exploration, rather than the broader view, called the "Space Settlement Project."
Sounds like a worthwhile activity.
John Young is going to speak after lunch.

A quote from the link:
> > Stated concisely yet profoundly, space is nothing less than the ultimate economic growth engine for the entire world, and nothing more than another place for people to live, work, study, and play. The Space Settlement Project believes this is how space must be marketed to the general public. When people understand space in this manner, they will care about space and demand action.
Exactly.
