Awesome. This could change everything, space-wise. No more being held hostage by the Defense Contractors or the Russians to get to orbit.<p>I think the Falcon 1 is about 1/10th to 1/7th the cost of the nearest competitor at $3million to orbit (compared to ~26million for Pegasus).

It's time to build Starfleet Academy. We know there are enough VCs around San Francisco to do this! :)
