Orbitec managed to pull out successful Vortex engine test flight. This is very interesting development, because it would make reusability of spacecrafts into realms of possibility. Reusability could potentially cut the launch costs into orbit by one or even two orders of magnitude. SpaceX has

nice job, that remind me some hoover I don't see yet if it can help LENR rockets... basically it could make LiquixOXygen-Augmented Nuclear Thermal Rocket design be simpler... if someone can analyse if LENR will benefit from that... 2012/12/22 Jouni Valkonen jounivalko...@gmail.com
