America’s Achievements In Space
Developed a Series of Higher Performing Launch Vehicles, Culminating in Saturn V, the Most Powerful Rocket Ever Produced
Executed a Well Planed Series of Missions Concurrent with Launch Vehicle Development Which Enabled Manned Expeditions to the Moon
Developed Manned Orbiting Laboratories, First Skylab and Then, Though Collaboration, the International Space Station
Developed a Partially Reusable Launch System to Support Station Development and Habitation Which Made 135 Flights with a 98.5% Success Record
Developed a Series of Expendable Launch Vehicles to Support Deployment of USAF and National Security Systems
An Extensive Series of Robotic and Exploratory Missions to Better Understand our Planet, Our Solar System, our Galaxy, and Universe
By Extension, Supported Unprecedented Technological Development in Information Systems, Electronics, Life Support and Countless Other Areas, and Stimulated Technology Education

The “Present”
Still Only Two Countries in the World with the Capability of Launching Humans into Space – But the U.S. Is Not One of Them Or – Perhaps More Accurately, the U.S. Currently pays Russia for this Capability
NASA has Finally Announced Plans for a New Exploration-Class Vehicle but it is at Best Six to Seven Years Away – Even if Its Development Can Survive Political and Economic Turmoil
NASA Science Missions, While Boasting Significant Recent Accomplishments, Are Now Being Severely Curtailed Just When We Are Beginning to “Know What We Didn’t Know”
The U.S. Still Retains An Impressive Set of Vehicles for Military Applications, and Retains Dominance in Military Space, But the Cost of These Systems is Unsustainable, and Large, Monolithic Spacecraft are Now Vulnerable Targets
Despite the Voracious Consumption of and Reliance on Bandwidth, the Vast Majority of Commercial Launches are Contracted with Foreign Commercial Companies
How Did We Get Here and Where are We Going?

Changing Priorities In Space Development Simultaneous US Investment in Apollo, ICBMs and SLBMs in 1960s and 70s Large Government Spending as % of Budget – “Vital Importance” Robust US Industrial Base Establishment of U.S. as Predominate Space Power Both Manned and Un-Manned
Waning Investment and National Interest in 80’s and 90’s Reduced Government Spending as % of Budget – “Priority” NASA Budget < 1% of Federal Budget Consolidation of Industrial Base Advent of “Commercial Space” market
“Evaporation” of Investment and National Interest in 2000s Extremely Limited Government Investment in Technology Deployment Lack of Clear Direction Anemic Industrial Base; Loss of Skilled Personnel Significant Increases in Cost
“The U.S. is at a Crossroads and Facing An Uncertain Future Unlike any We Have Seen in Decades” - Jim Maser, President, PWR to Committee on Science, Space & Technology , 3/2011

The Changing Landscape of Commercial Space
While U.S. Interest in Space has Continued to Decline, It’s Relative Importance and Necessity for Everyday Life has Increased Military – Drones, Surveillance, Secure Communications, Troop Correspondence, etc Commercial – Telcom, GPS, Satellite TV, Google Maps, Zillow, VSAT transactions, etc.
Many New Markets In Commercial Space COTS/CRS, CCDev,Tourism, Exploration, Mining, Etc.
Many New Entrants into Emerging Commercial Space Launch Industry
NASA Now Realizes that They Must Partner with Industry
Private Industry Must Now Take the Lead for Major Space Development Programs
Space Exploration Must Become a Cooperative, International Endeavor

What is “Commercial Space”?
Private and Publicly Traded Companies Supported American Space Development Activities (Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Martin, Lockheed, Grumman, etc.)
First Commercial Spacecraft – Telstar 1 – Launched July 10, 1962 (Government Funded)
First Commercial Launch Company – Arianespace – 1980
First “Entrepreneurial” Commercial Space Company – Orbital Sciences Corp. – 1982 Transfer Orbit Stage (TOS) for Shuttle Bay Satellite Deployments
First U.S. Commercial Launch – Delta II BSB-R1 satellite launch Aug 27, 1989
First Privately-Funded Space Launch Vehicle –Pegasus – Orbital Sciences Corp. -1990
First Strictly Commercial Launch Company – Sea Launch, Formed April 1995 First Launch March 27, 1999
First Privately Financed, New Development Space Company – Space Exploration Technologies (Space X) - 2002
