On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 14:26:52 +0100, in a place far, far away, "John
Thingstad" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

I am a bit disappointed that we have not yet seen a successful
single stage to orbit rocket this decade.
But I am hopeful that we will see one in the next.
We are so close..


Actually, it's not clear that we're close at all. Fortunately, SSTO
is not necessary to make access to space affordable.


I looked over the web site at Venture Star, but I never figured out
why the program was scrapped.
Were there fundemental problems or just that they lagged behind scedule?
