Our national security is enhanced through space Space use will contribute to economic competitiveness which is good Parties other than the Federal government must be involved.

How should we divide a wonderful chocolate cake? Obvious answer is equal sized pieces among people in class This is subject to 8 challenges on policy grounds Challenge 1: who should get cake, where are the boundaries of the community? Challenge 2: why not rank based distribution?(e.g. partnerships at law firms Challenge 3: why not group based distribution?(e.g. only US citizens) Challenge 4: why not include cake as part of bigger meal and make meals equal? Challenge 5: why not distribute on value to the recipient?(e.g. Medicare) Challenge 6: why not allow everyone competitive access?(e.g. Affirmative action Challenge 7: why not equal statistical chances? Challenge 8: why not vote and let one person have it?(e. g. elections)• Our national security is enhanced through space • Space use will contribute to economic competitiveness which is good • Parties other than the Federal government must be involved.
