Anyone else read the news release at: http://www.rocketplaneglobal.com/press/20071026a.html

There is a long detailed interview at:

Sounds good for Rocketplane after the Kistler NASA Contract hey!

Any thoughts?

Other than "SWEET!"? No, sorry, that's all I've got.

Rocketplane XP... Sounds like a Windows product.

Shouldn't it be Rocketplane Vista by now?

I don't understand the following comment, though:

The U-2 flies at twice that altitude without an afterburning engine. I've flown as high as 50,000 feet in an airplane without afterburning engines (we were on a long flight and decided to do it just because we could). Couldn't go higher because we didn't have pressure suits (against the regs).



Other than that, more power to them!
