Get launch costs down. Nothing else matters if we don't get
launch costs down. Going to the Moon, going to Mars, mining
the asteroids, even increases in unmanned probes isn't
practical until it costs about 1% as much to put something
in orbit as it does now.

I hope this thing about encouraging commercial launchers
does it, together with Virgin Galactic, Bigalow Aerospace,
and others. Get the launch costs down. meow meow meow
