In reply to Allen box. Allen box: I am sorry to say that no paper version exists. I published it as an ebook last year. If you are online and have a computer, you can get it as a pdf to read, by going to the ebookit link in the Pioneer box on BtB, usually at the top of the right column but sometimes on smartphones near the bottom of the page.

Sir I always enjoy any podcast you are on. I am trying to find a hard copy of your paper book of pioneer. Kind of old fashioned that way. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe. We’ll see. From the last National Space Council we got the Delta Clipper, which led to Blue Origin’s New Shepard and SpaceX’s Grasshopper (and thus, their reusable first stage).

I doubt this one will get too deep into NASA policy. Maybe redirect the Mars program toward the moon instead, but not much below that level. The Space Council is meant to look at things much broader than a single NASA program.

Enthusiasm for exploration soon gives way to enthusiasm for spending.
