You say it is a kickstart effort, then how about private space firms spend THEIR money and time drawing up plans and submitting them to NASA like Boeing and Northrupp Gruman have done? It sounds to me as if you want the TAXPAYERS to fund the private companies R&D and for the aforementioned PRIVATE companies to then be able to reap the rewards for something they never paid for in the begining.....

Myself, i believe that private competition is good, and yet i think about how wal-mart has ruined the american manufacturing industry. Only if they signed an agreement to manufacture the space vehicles and everything that goes into them in the United States, would i ever support anything like what you are suggesting. Yes we need to colonize, teraform, and explore the universe, but in my humble opinion we need people like yourself to give us more ammunition to fire at the people in the house and senate. At least give us something other than "You can not support ARES" because i said so..... sheeesh...
