Thanks for the welcome.....It's strange to me that all the other "missiles" are being allowed for use as launchers.....minuteman for the minotaur vehicle....russian missiles as launchers(I forget the name)....and the recent firing of a rocket from a sub, which if noone got nervous from that, there shouldn't be any problems with the peacekeeper. I wonder why the peacekeeper out of all the other missiles is being singled out. Anyways, Richard u seem to know a lot about the industry, you must know about all the new vehicles getting ready to come online:reusable and expendable. If e-prime doesn't get the go ahead soon, and doesn't "start" launching by 2000, they will never be able to compete with vehicles offering the same service for half the cost, unless they found some way of further reducing the launch costs they have quoted, which would be hard to do with what they have. Any thoughts?

Hi Richard,
As usual very eloquently put. Great post and thanks for bailing me out.Also from what little of the new generation of launchers that I know of, they won't be able to lift the heavier payloads. We have no problem with heavy payloads. If you cost out a launch by weight, which is one method we are cheap compared to ALL others.
