- We are talking about having it built with private money. No, not the
- station but the resuply vehicles. Note the difference.
-
- The US Air Force is not a commercial venture yet it is supplied by
- commercial ventures. Do you think the govenrment owns the refineries
- that supply the jet fuel? Everything from F-15s to toilet paper is
- bought from the private sector.
-
- Launches whether used to send satellites or resuply a government space
- station can be commercial.

- I'll bet they do. Not the research conducted but the resuply.
