    Space Leadership.

    1.  Set up a NASA + FAA group able to certify manned commercial spacecraft, including space stations and rovers.

    2.  Build a LEO propellant depot that can sell propellant to NASA, DOD and commercial companies.

    3.  Build a space tug able to take cargoes from LEO to EML-2.  A budget of ~$20M people + $20M material + a launch vehicle every year ($54M to $200M) for 5 years should cover the development.
