-And to think, it was only last year that Pegasus was the net's darling
-that was going to bring the cost of space travel down to nil. These
-bandwagons are not only crowded, they also seem to be short lived. It's
-funny that the flaws only show up when something actually flies.

You misremember - the attractive features of Pegasus were low cost for a
dedicated mission, and, as a small launcher, being representative of what
startup organizations might use to build up a launcher business.
