Discusses Raptor upper stage and engine, Merlin 2 engine, Falcon X and
Falcon XX, which is a tad larger and more powerful than the Saturn V,
and technology for manned deep space exploration.

Aren't they thinking way, way, ahead? After all,they haven't even
gotten a cargo demonstration flight to ISS, let alone sending a crew.
Nice to see where they think they'll be in 20 years, but
otherwise....if this is an attempt to influence the House and Senate
deliberations on the FY 11 budget, they will be given a dose of
reality.
