Maybe the ROTON will eventually make it to space.

Ping.

Up next: Spacely Space Sprockets and Cogswell Cogs. And I want the flying car that folds up into a briefcase. And the vacations on the moon.

I dunno. It comes down real good, but not sure how well it goes up.

Or possibly vice-versa.

What will they call it? Rutor?

Cool! Been to RR when the flight test vehicle was just pieces of carbon fiber and a test stand engine. Had to sign a non-disclosure, so the rest of the details are not available. Also know the XCOR guys (from even before they were at RR). Glad they were able to pick up the tech from RR, as there was a lot of good stuff there that never got implimented. And XCOR needed some more options to work with than their little "bottle rocket" tied to a light plane. Apparently they found sufficient investment money to meat RR's price. That's good news too.
