Several people whose opinions I respect have, over the years, said that ERPS should give up VTVL and do HTHL. This was useless advice (among many other pieces of useless advice, like try hydrazine), because ERPS can't do HTHL, whether it works better or not. ERPS can do VTVL, so it's the best option for them. Moral of the story: it ain't all about engineering, guys. -R -- "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
