<< I also hate to be techno-pesimistic, but this is *rockets* you are talking

 many, many rocket projects, all failures. I applaud his determination. In
 my opinion, he is a brilliant salesman, and can attract funding to any
 rocket project at all. Since his job in this curent endevour is not a
 technical one, I am sure he is an asset to the project. In my opinion, all
 of his technical ideas of the past were doomed due to a lack of respect for
 simplicity, and I am not speaking out of hindsight. For that matter, most
 space launch projects suffer the same problem.

What happens when the Rotons dont work? its doomed. If a shuttle loses its
landing gear it can still land, but then again when has a shuttle lost its
landing gear?
