And how much to prefer a cone over an ogive, if at all, is going to
depend on the Mach profile, which will depend on the thrust profile,
which we don't know yet.
I'm thinking that we should start with an ogive, and get throttling,
tracking, and recovery issues down. Then if we think we can get
significantly more performance out of a cone, we can switch nose
cones.
