This Week in Traffic: 19 June 2007

Bicycle Ban Barrier to Bucolic…ummm…Roads?

Space Transportation Agreements

Three companies have signed letters of understanding with NASA (the least-funded government agency!) that allow them access to systems req’s and other information. This will assist the companies in their quest to put low earth orbit in commerically applicable reach. At the moment, I believe that cost-to-orbit is around $10,000 a pound. That needs to get a heck of a lot lower to make orbital labs cost effective.
