Neil Armstrong's famous step and a giant leap for mankind was a great inspiration for a generation of potential future space travelers. For some, it was the end of a beginning. Others viewed the Apollo lunar landings as wasteful government spending on what was essentially nothing more than a publicity stunt. For them, instead, it was the beginning of the end. In the tug–of–war that typically defines national politics, the space program was decimated. Valuable science and engineering talent rotted on the vine. In many respects, it was a shameful period in US history.
Throughout this inglorious period, however, some visionaries tried to revive the ailing space program. These individualists seemed to settle on the same themes of earth orbit and lunar surface colonization, with the one unifying and recurring motif being the reusability of space vehicles.
But sometimes dreams fall in mid-flight; theirs certainly did. However, ReusableNew.Space has picked up the challenge, hoping to finish what these dreamers started!
