Hi,

Has anyone been following the developments of Virgin to develop a cheap, re-usable space rocket that will lower the cost (and risk) of getting into space?

See the following link -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/science/nature/7205445.stm

Given that the major impediment to the LiftPort is that it is financially unviable when being lifted with a NASA shuttle has anyone considered re-running the cost calculations using the estimates from Virgin?  I would be interested in this as a small research topic if anyone is interested.

We may find that the pre-cursor technology required is closer at hand than we may realise.

Regards,

Toby

It is more then half year passed and LiftPort and NASA are still unconquerable. That won't change in  a year or so
