 I am enjoying the peroxide engine development reports from John Carmack at 
Armadillo Aerospace.  I am a child of the fifties and back then, we were sure 
that by the turn of the century, everyone would be able to routinely travel in 
space. Except for the Apollo moon landings, the government's wacky "space 
program"  let us down horribly.
     So now, civilians are heroically trying to get ourselves into space 
without the government's help. This is dreamwork and I  encourage Armadillo and  
all the X-Prize contenders to be bold and never give up the quest of Cheap 
Access To Space, CATS. 
     When CATS is attained, and it will be,  citizen explorers will be 
re-empowered. This time, exploration will become a permanent job form because the 
frontiers of space are infinite.
