And or start working on OK can't get ride to High orbit,,, at least get us to a LEO spot and develop like Ion engines or something so we can eventually work our way to a high orbit, like with an ION engine, so it takes a few years to get there because of the low push level, but hey a few years is decades faster than we are doing now.

How about hitting up the new COMMERCIAL launchers like SpaceX?? Those guys originated as amateur rocketeers. There's others, we may be able to wangle a free or donated ride to HEO. The US government isn't likely to be viable, they can't even get astronauts to the ISS w/o begging a ride from someone else.

Of course, we take a much larger risk in going for a test ride, we might want to have a P3F and P3G ready to go just in case.

Hey a ride is a ride if they can do it for cheap I don't care.
