Looks like they have the right stuff. And they did it all for what it costs NASA to get a project proposal written... wow!

Nifty side note......
My company machined the bulkhead for the the "rubber nitrous mixture" propulsion system for Spaceship One.
Raw material 36" diameter x 12" thick 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Weight 770 LBS.
After turning of diameters and boring etc. 33" diameter x 6" Weight 247 LBS
After final mill work to generate 12 contour pockets and ribs on outside of this thing weight down to final of.......
DRUM ROLL......
62lbs.
708 lbs of metal removed is pretty impresive in this industry.
All of this and still WAY CHEAPER THAN NASA.

The Mojave area is going to be huge in 15 years. People are moving to the high desert like crazy. This is a good sign for me because I sell land all over the IE!
