To ensure the future of spaceflight, NASA must stop building rockets. That counterintuitive notion is borne out by the agency’s sad post-Apollo history. For the past 50 years, America’s dreams of space exploration have been stymied by NASA’s failure to build an affordable, reliable launch system. Today, the private sector builds rockets faster, cheaper, and better.

In March, the pipeline company Energy Transfer won a massive civil suit against the environmental nonprofit Greenpeace. The case dates back to 2016, when as many as 10,000 activists traveled to North Dakota and joined Native American groups trying to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

78 Minute Read Share A genuine Space Age is dawning, and the U.S. is well positioned to lead it. Thanks to private-sector innovations in rocketry, spaceflight is on the verge of being cheap, accessible, and routine. These advances open the door for commercial enterprises in orbit and beyond, promising an economic boom. Falling costs can also help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reinvigorate our country’s sluggish space programs.

Stop being polite. It’s bad for the planet. https://t.co/rLbnadkJK5
Like the later BLM and anti-Israel protests, the 2016 Standing Rock anti-pipeline occupation showed how a small group of hard-core activists can push a demonstration toward violence. The Greenpeace lawsuit helped expose how mainstream nonprofits often fund these extremists.
The causes they claim to march for—whether climate, civil rights, or Palestine—are interchangeable. The real goal is always radical, revolutionary change. @jamesbmeigs https://t.co/VaEJLNdF0X
