On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 06:10:53 -0800 (PST), in a place far, far away,
"Kaido Kert" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

ROTFLMAO.

White Knight/SS1 is an incremental approach to the mission of the X33?

Well, IMO no. The mission of X-33 was to be an excuse for funnelling money
into certain companies, and later decorate some hangars.
White Knight/SS1 has an entirely different mission.

I was tempted to say that, too, but I decided uncharacteristically to
give the question more respect than it deserved.
