Miles O'Brien was known for his space reporting for CNN, back in the day

topic. CNN's space reporting has declined in quality following
O'Brian's departure from CNN. :-(

magically make space launch cheaper is nonsense -- LOX is much cheaper
than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
