Of course the leap between this amateur rocket and something
that can accomplish a 'Tito-like' mission is something akin to the
difference between the Wright Flyer and a F-15.
OK, good of you to astutely point out the obvious. But that doesn't change the
fact that CATS just got cheaper, closer and more confident. [except to you]

To take this flight as meaning that private citizens can expect anything is
to endorse the acceptance of fantasy over reality.
Good of you to waste a little bandwidth sharing your negativism. We all
believe your learned theorem which proves that things such as Saturn V was at
no point in time just a fantastic dream of Von Braun's.
