Jack, yeah, I do all that, plus memberships and donations to NSS and the Planetary Society, etc. But it does get frustrating in the middle of the night, sitting at the keyboard, trying to come up with some new rhetoric that I haven't used on this senator, yet. And to know that even when we do get tourism going I"ll never make it up. But it's a cause I've believed in since my adolescence, and I'm damned if I'll throw in the towel now.

What we have to do is persistently lobby via emails, website messages, blogs, repeated notes to key administration and congressional committee members. Lobbying of business leaders who have already invested in space/science/space craft/satellites and encourage/convince them to continue funding. We may even need to hype up the idea of space vacations for the wealthy who would have to be the "first responders" much like the first responders for iPODS, iPhones and games systems. These are the people who will make it profitable for investors to continue funding.
