the saturn 5 returns!
"Alan Erskine" wrote in message pond.com... It amazes me that an organisation as small as SpaceX (less than 2,000 people) can not only design, but build and fly, not one but two launch vehicles, including all three engines, structures and most of the avionics, but organisations like Boeing and LockMart can't even do that. You assume the goal of them is to fly, not spend money. -- Greg D. Moore http://greenmountainsoftware.wordpress.com/ CEO QuiCR: Quick, Crowdsourced Responses. http://www.quicr.net |
