Actually a fair argument could be made that the Delta Clipper folks stole
a lot from his 'Phoenix' design anyway. The main point I'd disagree on
here is the C^3I; the Delta Clipper was flown by a Mac, whereas Roton is
flown by a human. Unfortunately he's been talking on Usenet about a 7.5g
peak deceleration on re-entry, so I doubt most humans will be up to the
job.
