I take it everyone already knows about spacedev then!

Sorry I was in a hurry. I beleive this company will become to space exploration what microsoft is to computing. I was very exited to discover spacedev and strongly beleive that commercial space programs are the way forward.

I wonder how far SpaceDev can take the Dreamchaser space tourism vehicle.  They claim it will be better than SpaceShipOne, but they're also doing the SS1 engine.  Hedging their bets, I see...

I hope that they shot for orbital capability and not just settle for sub orbital as there final goal.
