Smart guy that Jerry Pournelle. Had the USA followed his suggestions about how to operate the U.S. Space Program there would have been a moon base 40 years ago and Mars colonization would have began 30 years ago…
My father (designed space suits & life support systems for USAF then later NASA) always maintained that the biggest mistake the US made was to cancel Project Dynasoar. We would have had 40-50 slightly smaller space shuttles in the mid 1960’s, a base on the moon in the 70’s and have landed on Mars in the 80’s with a full scale colony by 1990…while starting to mine the astoroid best in the 2000’s…but Kennedy had to go big, after which we quit.
