I just had a friend over yesterday that is involved in the project - he
brought a copy of Aviation Week with him that gave some details on the
project, but I didn't have a chance to look at it. I didn't even catch the
issue number or have a chance to discuss how they were going about it
(beyond that it was not designed to actually put anything in orbit, just
meet the 60 mile requirement). Very cool, and he says he may have a shot at
getting a seat on the thing and going into space at some point. Hmmmm,
sound of gears clanking....time for a poll!
