Orbital Economics: Engineering Growth

Government funding is usually too irregular and inefficient to sustain Orbital Industrial Operations. Economic history indicates that America's Moon landing was probably engineered by the Kennedy Tax Rate Reductions of 1964-66. Taxation, directly and indirectly, has always affected the aerospace industry: rate cuts engineer growth. Economic "Bad Medicine" is the primary causation of most problems delaying Private Enterprises’ expansion into space. Rate cuts increase government revenues: tax hikes seem to precipitate budget cuts that can kill projects, or people. Unnecessarily high tax rates almost always force private sources of capital "underground". Mankind needs access to its "second worlds". One-world, "fractional economics" is obsolete.
