Posted on: Wed Jul 14, 2004 10:41 pm hmmm if they really can make a suborbital craft that can be made for 100,000 (exluding the prototype) I wonder if they can make an orbital craft that can be turned out for 10,000,000 or less? (after the first one is made and tested)
I mean if they can do that all I have to do is convince a few minor millionares to part with their money and I have a space company... |

Posted on: Fri Sep 03, 2004 6:32 am Airliners go for $300,000,000.
The DH-1 is $250mil. I think... fuzzy... Airliner contracts can be worth Billions of dollars for delivery of say ten aircraft. _________________ What goes up better doggone well stay up! - Morgan Gravitronics, Company Slogan. |

Posted on: Thu Sep 30, 2004 2:48 am Yeah what i mean is, if they can cost as little as ( or less than) an airliner to produce, then there is obviously a future for them.
