"Jeff Franks" wrote Already, there are plans in the works by Rutan and others for an orbital system based on this same technology (or lack thereof). But an orbital system CAN NOT be based on the same system, at least for re-entry. Not unless you want your fiberglass well done. I am halfway between you and Corky. Great for them, some things will be learned, but aside for a way for the tourist to see the curve of the earth, the blackness of space and a few seconds of weightlessness, I don't see much benefit. One thing is for sure. They will not get any of my money, and they need not get any of yours, if you feel that way. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
