    It is great that private industry is moving forward with space exploration. Otherwise repeating what was accomplished 20 yrs ago is not that interesting.

    Jim- Yup, McD's DC-X and DC-XA (modified by NASA) definitely demonstrated the same thing in the 90s. Worked on that program. They just had a reunion this weekend at the NM spaceport.

    (DC-X) Kinda makes you wonder why it (pun intended) "never took off"?
