Re: T-Space Program - Burt Rutan to bid on CEV?

A refinement of the vision but this one scares me a little bit.

For the first 20 For the first 20-40 expeditions, it will be cheaper to use more 40 expeditions, it will be cheaper to use more propellant than to create new optimized vehicles (lunar propellant than to create new optimized vehicles (lunar lander lander)

Still reading thou.
