Please Note:

The t/Space team thinks it can help NASA avoid a gap altogether and wants a chance to prove it. The t/Space team insists that is no hollow promise, and points to the quality of the people on their team, which includes famed aircraft designer Burt Rutan, who made history in 2004 as the builder of the first privately financed piloted spacecraft, and Brett Alexander, a former official with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy who helped shape the development of the new vision President George W. Bush gave NASA last year for future exploration.

With Burt on the staff, it should be done right...

Some of the others on the t/Space team are not up to Rutan's caliber. They have a reputation for getting government contracts through political means rather than on their merit or qualifications. It is a shame that t/Space has good ideas and yet some fatal flaws in its organization.
