If we can get *someone* to fund the proof-of-concept vehicle.  DoD
may still have the deepest pockets around, but I certainly hope
McDAC is looking at other sources also.  Perhaps the Japanese

Delta Clipper wasn't started several years ago when McDonnell Douglas
was healthy enough to finance such a project itself.
