Ed, having opinions about as tractable as an iridium lump does
not help convince people, you know.

What I understood Bruce to be proposing/discussing was the idea of
building a bottom stage for a DC-1 for those occaisons when a 'heavy'
payload needed launch.  (Heavy - either something that grosses out
long before it bulks out the cargo bay, or something that is going
higher than LEO on one launch (for whatever reason)).

This would seem to make a lot of sense; I did *not* understand him
to be advocating *all* launches as being two stage, just those that
would benefit from it.  (Or are you arguing that there will never
be any payloads that weigh too much for a DC-1?)
