as far as I know their rocket motors are the only ones I have heard about being turned off and back on in flight.

Jeff Greason said the license would allow the company to attract investors

Jeff gets it! Licenses, permits, leases, deeds are collateral.

the progress toward commercial access to space couldn't seem much slower to a guy who thought we'd have conquered such matters at least a decade ago.

True but ...

We spent about thirty years making no progress at all. Now, in just the last 3 or 4 years, huge progress has been made, and more in the pipeline.

Life is good.
