WC>Oh I'd expect huge changes but there certainly needs to be an infusion
WC>of novel ideas and a more simplified approach to orbit.

WC>The shuttle never lived up to what was sold to Congress.

WC>ITMT a independent corporation inspired by Burt Ruttan's
WC>design and success is shooting for for profit private space
WC>flights around the moon by 2008 - 20010.
WC>Cost a mere 40 million.


BUT without Investing MULTI BILLIONS it will never be more then a EGO
trip for Rutam and bascily a Working Joke as far as Space usability
goes.
