NASA's plans for retiring the Space Shuttle program and moving forward with the next phase of spacecraft – at least spacecraft known to the public – are being scrutinized at the highest levels of the U.S. government, according to recent published reports.
As the future role of NASA and its tentative plans are reviewed, it makes sense to also examine the role that private companies can play in the development of commercial space activities.
Commercial space travel and related projects face many challenges. These include requirements for substantial investments, technical and engineering hurdles, government regulations and even increasing amounts of space junk.
Yet, private companies could conceivably play a valuable and important role in future efforts involving diverse kinds of space-related endeavors.
REVIEW OF NASA PROGRAMS
In the public's eyes, NASA continues to be at the forefront of space travel and space activities. At the same time, that agency faces many of the same difficulties as private aerospace companies working on commercial space projects.
For example, NASA's post-Space Shuttle plans will be thoroughly examined in the coming months.
According to a May 7, 2009, Associated Press article, White House science adviser John Holdren plans to review the Ares rockets and Orion capsule slated to replace the Space Shuttle. Norman Augustine, former Lockheed Martin CEO, will lead the review team.
The AP reported that NASA is currently spending $300 million a month on the Ares-Orion projects, also known as the Constellation Project.
NASA's current plans include a five-year gap between the time the Space Shuttles are retired in 2010 and the Ares-Orion systems are rolled out in 2015. Russian rockets and craft would need to be used by NASA during that period.
Part of the mission for Ares rockets and the Orion craft would be to return to the moon, according to NASA. The agency has spent $6.9 billion so far on the moon mission, the AP reported.
Federal budget proposals include $18.7 billion for NASA in 2010.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Although NASA has long been the public face of the U.S. space program, some researchers have suggested that a more advanced space program may be going on behind the scenes. Some even claim that we may have a secret space fleet that uses knowledge and technologies gained from UFOs.
If we do have such parallel and covert programs, it would make sense to keep major aspects of it secret and away from the prying eyes of our adversaries and rivals.
If there are highly-advanced spacecraft and technologies available to the U.S. that need to remain in a protected or covert status, then that is probably understandable to many Americans.
In fact, according to some accounts, NASA could be a type of cover organization that hides the true nature and advanced state of our progress when it comes to space travel and aerospace technologies.
This is the same argument is used by some to claim that the project called Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) and its Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CETI) activity are simply covers for the well-established knowledge that extraterrestrial and/or extra-dimensional intelligent beings are visiting Earth – and we may even be in contact with some of them.
If there is any truth to these rumors and tales, maybe it is time to review these very expensive cover operations to determine if they continue to be necessary.
Some people might feel it is also time to transition some of these alleged advanced UFO-related technologies, in a secure manner, through the pipelines from strictly covert activities and into more mainstream aerospace and other engineering endeavors.
Maybe other advanced knowledge behind the scenes could be useful in medicine, psychology, physics, energy, natural resources conservation, climate change, humanitarian activities, peace operations and other fields.
Perhaps advanced knowledge and technologies could be made available in ways that would not compromise national security, but would actually enhance it, and resulting in significant benefits for Americans and the human race.
