I was speaking hypothetically - but even so, perhaps it would have been clearer to state, "a scaled-up vehicle using POGO engines," than, "a xSTO adaptation of POGO". > I wouldn't even stage ReSOAR.

But that's another argument, and academic until one has at least an X Prize class vehicle (whether or not one actually goes for the X Prize) that could in theory be staged to get a better operational range. > Of course, one can envision putting POGO on top of a > very large KISS, > and flying it to 10,000 feet to test its recovery > capability - but I'd > want the POGO project manager to have a cardiology > exam first. Wouldn't it be cheaper, and about as effective at testing that, just to drop it from an airplane at 10k feet? _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
