-From: aws@iti.org (Allen W. Sherzer) -Subject: DC-Y Funding (was: How many flights are Orbiters designed for? ) -Date: 6 Jan 93 01:04:41 GMT -DoD it the only thing. Much as I wish it where otherwise, the fact -remains that the launcher buisness is a small market, not profitable -for anybody, competes with government subsidzed competition, and currently -suffers from an oversuply of launchers and too few payloads. The Shuttle only launches about eight times a year, and represents relatively few subsidized GAS cans, mid-deck experiments, etc. Is the market really *that* small? (And if these incidental payloads were not subsidized, the market might be even smaller.) John Roberts roberts@cmr.ncsl.nist.gov
