Give him a big enough budget and I have no doubt Burt could do nearly
anything he wanted. I know history has said that we should "go higher,
faster, farther" yet I hope one day we will change that. Instead I hope
to hear, "cheaper, safer, more available."

Moon is easy ONCE YOU ARE OUT OF THE GRAVITY WELL. This needs to be done in
stages (pun intended). Crudely Burt has done a smaller scale of stage 1 & 2
of a Saturn. Too fast/too big a budget might be a problem (NASA involvement
would kill it), I can remember Vanguard on TV, Explorer worked.
