Very EXCITING to see a new concept! Not sure if this link will work but MSNBC has a good video at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23813798#23813798 (shame on the press for not making it clear that it's half the price because it goes half as high, not a spaceflight) My guess is that this vehicle's capabilities are set by their Air Force client contract and they're smart to commercialize it too. Sub-orbital is a good stepping stone to orbital, and apparently this is a good stepping stone to sub-orbital. I think we'll see even smaller stepping stones continue to emerge as well. Shiny!

My guess is that this vehicle’s capabilities are set by their Air Force client contract and they’re smart to commercialize it too. Sub-orbital is a good stepping stone to orbital, and apparently this is a good stepping stone to sub-orbital. I think we’ll see even smaller stepping stones continue to emerge as well.
