RE: Erik Fair's article Congrats, Erik. As usual, the most intelligent, imaginative, and courageous solutions have come - not from the legislative lampreys in Washington or from the sadly deluded types like George Bush - but from the science fiction writers and the technical cadre of our country. There WAS no drug problem in this country until the legislature, in its infinite stupidity, made the stuff illegal, and created the economic incentive for organized crime to import it. Perhaps all we can do is contribute to efforts like the Amateur Space Telescope and hope that industry will decide that it can make enough *profit* from STS related technologies to push NASA on its way.
