We're Spacemen (and Women), Not Cowboys

"The spaceman view is premised on the limited resources of a space ship. In this world, we advance in the context of resource conservation – since the supply is finite and limited, and laws focus on both access to resources and how much are used. I would argue that the United States, like many other countries, is caught in the difficult transition between a heritage premised on a cowboy view, to one confronting the realities of the spaceship." - excerpt from blog post by George Hawkins, General Manager of DC Water.
