On Fri, 17 Oct 2003 13:45:32 CST, in a place far, far away,
(Bill Bogen) made the phosphor on my monitor glow
in such a way as to indicate that:


It probably doesn't go as far as some of us would like it to, but I
think that it goes as far as is politically feasible right now, and I
think that it goes far enough to loosen certain investors' purse
strings. At least one of them...

But does it imply that Burt Rutan will need to get a launch license
for each and every flight of SpaceShipOne, at great time and expense?

No, I believe that the first one is the hardest, but also that they
are trying to come up with a way to license a class of launches,
rather than have to do that.
