Well, this should be interesting.
Sy, does anyone know whatever happened to the Roton?

Rotary Rocket went belly-up last year. The tech was good -- but they ran out of cash. Roton mastermind Gary C. Hudson is still alive and well, however, and who knows what he'll come up with next time?

In answer to your question, Dick Roton is the "test pilot" of a privately financed, reuseable launch vehicle. That project is also located in the Las Vegas area. A test launch of a small-scale prototype was reported in an article about a month ago. This is one of those subjects which is entirely feasible from a technical standpoint. All it takes is the wilolingness and the wherewithall to do it. This man seems to have both.
