Guiding Principles:
This essay is based on a few simple principles.

- In politics, there is no such thing as a ‘safe seat’, just a lack of alternatives.
- The future is a jump ball, up for grabs every day.
The Premise:
In the New Frontier Playbook, the goal is to offer a bold future in space and back it with a specific roadmap for getting there. The goal is to make this future possible.
