I encoumbered DC with development costs but not Shuttle. I doubled DC's DDT&E, production and operations costs. It still came up a winner. Nobody is saying it will be a piece of cake. Are you saying that a factor of two isn't enough to cover the risk? If not, then what's your point? Allen -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Allen W.
