If there is no arket for SSTO, then why is there three contractors?? I know the GOV might not be excited about any new projects.. Maybe we need to concentrate more on lobbying.. What is Clintons views on NASA? on Private Space? Multi-NAtional Space? Ever heard of Poker Flats in Alaska, I might have an address for someone if they want to ask about it.. (I know of it already).. 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.. Was the Russians working on a SSTO before the fall? Michael Adams Alias: Morgoth/Ghost Wheel nsmca@acad2.alaska.edu

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. A: A novice hesitates before doing something stupid.
