REFLECTOR: More news from Rocket Racing Inc

[Alex Balic]

Pretty interesting concept- unique idea- although I am guessing that that
craft will have a lot of drag especially as speed builds- I know that they
don't intend to go into orbit with it, so it won't need to get going nearly
as fast as an orbital vehicle, but still... Seems like it has a lot of
surface and frontal area.

Rocket Racing, Armadillo Aerospace Partner To Enter Suborbital Tourism Race

 

State Of New Mexico Also Involved In Project

Space took a giant leap closer to Earth Friday, following the launch of a
new joint venture between Rocket Racing, Inc. (RRI), Armadillo Aerospace and
the government of New Mexico.

 

With a goal of sending adventurers into suborbital space with a target price
of $100,000 per ticket or less, the three companies unveiled plans to field
a fleet of reusable Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) vehicles (RLV) that
will take flight from Spaceport America near Las Cruces, NM.
