The info about some things is a tad out of date, the distinction between the suborbital and orbital SpaceDev projects being one not made clear, but otherwise interesting. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

What was out of date? <br />New things I learned were Spacedev is working with ATK<br />on integration with Ares1.<br /><br />From what i read here Ares most likely will not fly,<br />but working together is always good.<br /><br />BTW did you see page 22?<br />

Nevermind....I had thought the "suborbital" mention in the Dream Chaser bit on page 36 didn't take into account the splitting of their program into suborbital (BSC Spaceship) and orbital (Dream Chaser). I had missed the BSC Spaceship entry on page 31. <br /><br />Page 22? You mean E'Prime's use of Peacekeeper ICBM's guts for a launch vehicle? Been tried before IIRC. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I meant BSC on page 22<br /><br />Roman number's and pdf, paper, and digital.<br /><br />gota fix that.

The miscount is in Acrobat Reader. The document says page 22 but I had checked the AR page indicator which said page 31 <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br />@$$#%#@$ Adobe anyhow <img src="/images/icons/mad.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I am impressed with how many small payload<br />launch vehicles there are.
