“Unaffordable and Unsustainable: NASA’s Failing Earth-to-orbit Transportation Strategy”

The Space Frontier has released a White Paper highly critical of NASA’s strategy to service LEO.  In it they call for America to commit to using the private sector to service all LEO-destined crew and cargo services by 2010.

Though this report does not directly speak to building or using a Space Elevator, it certainly is relevant to it as most of us in the SE community believe that Private Enterprise is the way to go for space exploration and exploitation.  This study makes a solid case for getting NASA out of this role as quickly as possible.
