That hasn't stopped people from proposing new vehicles. If you include paper studies with little serious potential for succes (which I'm assuming the other SSTO proposals are) then there are probably several dozen new vehicles being proposed for a market that doesn't need them. >If the US Defense can let go some its budget we might be able to get the DC-X >up, I think the Japanese are working on alot of things, after all the have the >money.. A combo Gov/Private Corp effort.. The DoD _is_ letting go of a large portion of its budget. It has however already paid for DC-X (which should not be confused with an orbital follow on). -- Josh Hopkins jbh55289@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu Q: How do you tell a novice from an expert.
