It's great to see these kind of programs. The first 32 inch LCD our squadron bought cost $20,000. I bought a 46 inch one last week for $1,300.

This is the perfect evolution of technology. The government did it when it was cost prohibitive for the private sector and now the technology is being handed to the private sector. Who will definitely do it better and cheaper than the government ever did. Someday soon that $100,000 rocket ride will be $10,000.

Just think of the possibilities when we get things like the space station into the private sector.

As for you guys quibbling over what kind of fuel to use, I'm sure the guys building these rockets are vastly more qualified to make these determinations than any of us. Yes I know there are some rocket scientist flying for FedEx, but as always it's easier to criticize those who are actually doing something than it is to do it yourself.
