Default CEV to be made commercially available

On 17 Oct 2005 11:26:57 -0700, in a place far, far away,
" made the
phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

What's lacking are companies that would be willing to do it as expensively as the use of a CEV would require.


Then increase the flight rate. No such thing as a manned spacecraft
that'll be "cheap" if only flown a few times a year.


And there's no way that CEV will be cheap even if flown a thousand
times a year, if it flies on top of an expendable.
