Default How long before they resurrect the X-33 program?

I stand corrected.

The unit that got X-33, and pretended that it planned to to V* had
zero commercial experience, and a long history of denigrating the
prospects for commercial markets. One could tell from their "business

Of course they weren't. They were hoping to draw Uncle into financing
VentureStar for them.


Which meant that their proposal was fraudulent.
