Default More on Boeing's small launcher concept

"Here are a couple of additional images of the small
launch vehicle (SLV) concept recently unveiled by
Boeing. The company outlined the scheme as a
possible means of cutting the cost of launching
small sats as well as increasing launch
responsiveness."

That won't reduce costs for such small payloads. They're going from a
modified ICBM/MRBM like Minotaur to a completely new vehicle. I think
this just goes to show how detached from reality the big corporations are.
