Wasn't this concept discussed on the net some time ago?  I seem to remember
this along with talk about hydrogen slush for fuel.  

Comments on the article:

reference only requiring a small crew to launch:
The current generation of expendables are derived from ICBMs, which required
very small crews to launch.  If you want to keep launch crews and complexity
down, keep the following out of the development process for the SSX:
1) the Air Force
2) any other government agency
3) any organization that represents a satellite manufacturer (at least, a
defense satellite manufacturer).  
Only half a :-)

If anyone out there knows of a company that is getting set to design or build
one of these SSXs, please let me know.  I would want to send them my resume.
