  Are you saying that they had not even started production of
  Pegasus No.2 in April, 1990? Maybe this is true, but it seems
  a very strange way for OSC to be operating.
   
  By the way, please do not take my pointing out Pegasus
  difficulties as being an indication that I am anti-Pegasus.
  I like this system, alot. I am merely using it as the most
  recent example of a space booster which has not maintained
  its schedule, something it is my contention will happen
  to DC as well.
