Compromising will only slow the development of space, the exact opposite of what these people AND the supporters of the Obama plan were hoping for. If these people had the imagination to understand that using commercial rockets and heavy lifters to get to Leo and building a true spaceship in orbit that was equiped with chemical rockets to initiate flight and Vasimr ion engines capable of reaching the speeds necessary for interplanetary travel, a ship that stayed in orbit and was refueled in orbit then they would get to Mars or the Moon much faster and stay there, unlike with Apollo or Constellation.
