I thought this show tonight was pretty good and I also thought it put some spotlights on space this year. Overall I thought it was a good show.<br /><br />Though I still think the big companies should take a page out of Rutans book and possibly design their own lil Spaceshipones and such. They might also generate some more capital for themselves rather than giving all the money to VirginGalactic. Not to push them out of business but this would greatly push the space race foward to affordability and routine access to space for the comman man not just the wealthy...<br /><br /><br />I still think an X-34/X-40 variant could be built and launched just like SS1 and do the same and even better things. Mini-spaceplane comeback....<br /><br />***Note***<br />USAF: Take Note that 747 configurations could launch 2 man space crew in spaceplane vehicles to drop precision guided munitions on bad guys from CONUS on 24 hours notice if such craft were built for USAF.... Possibly why DARPA took over X-34/X-40 project...... Hmmmmmmm....<br /><br />I like that idea....<br /> <br />**I edited to include X-40. Ooooops**
