Default NASA/Cargo flights

There's another company poised to capitalize on this bid process. It's run
by one of the multi-millionaire internet startup youngster types.
Apparently, they can do the job for a fraction of the current cost with 100%
reusable components sans fuel. Small company, low overhead etc etc. There
was a piece on public radio the other day discussing this very topic. I
apologize for being so vague...

NASA is seaking private contractors to handle the cargo flights to space
station. Do you think that Burt Rutan will jump on chance to bid for that?

I think maybe you are thinking of this new launch company :
http://www.spacex.com/

Its founded and run by Elon Musk, co-founder of Paypal. They are nearly
ready for their first launch....and have designed/planned to grow to
much bigger launch vehicles. You can subscribe to their email
newsletter for continuing news updates.
