Scaled Composites gets an FAA license.

Article says two other companies are being considered for FAA
certification, one being an X-Prize contender. Who's that? Who's the
other one? Xcor maybe?

I want RUMORS!

No rumor. XCOR was the first company to be told that their launch
license application was substantially complete, months ago. But this
isn't FAA certification--it's a launch license.

Oh, I should add that the other X-Prize contender is Armadillo.

Thanky for the clarification. I'm looking forward to this competition
taking a higher public profile. And FYI, your DennisMillerization has
been tenatively upgraded to a HankHillization. Congratulationizations.

I'm indifferent to whatever "...izations" you want to apply to me,
since they seem remarkably uninformed.
