How long before they resurrect the X-33 program?

Oh boy, don't you sound like a NASA management type. If you can't meet
your
budget how are you going to afford to fly it. Or did you forget the
original
budget was only $800 million? 50% overbudget and not even an assembled
machine is not my idea of people I want to give more money to.

Hmmm... sounds a hell of a lot like the X-15's XLR-99 engine program. Boty,
sure am glad they cancelled that one due to huge overruns!

They spent 1.2 billion on X-15 engine?

Infact, I think the cost overruns here also should had someone fired but it
still was not 1.2 billion, for that much I still expect to see an assembled
airframe.
