I do think that Magna Carta and international law are worth paying some attention to.
I think it's a pity that in many people's minds constitutional reform and PR have come to mean much the same thing.
The notion of getting the general public into low-Earth orbit I don't think is far-fetched at all.
I don't think that anybody should be ruling in or ruling out anything while we are conducting diplomacy.

The IRS targeting certain groups for harassment because of their politics would be unfair. If we found out the NSA was keeping special tabs on everyone who worshiped at a mosque or took a Bible trip through the Middle East, you'd have an uprising.
Lots of countries have great constitutions, but their leaders have a practice of ignoring the rules whenever they feel like it.
