Re: It'd be cool if the private sector was allowed to bid on some boosters. Might be able to launch a bunch of satellites on the cheap.

Yeah... sure! ROFL! Hey, Charley, how about a bid on the famous Buran shuttle? As you put it, to "launch a bunch of space tourists (Tito) on the cheap"... Sounds great, eh? BUT HEY, don't blame me if they all end up a few miles off Hawaii after take-off!!!
