Damn.  Wish I'd known.  I'd gladly go work with XCor.  Heck, I know
people at XCor already.  And I wouldn't particularly mind living in the
Mojave, ....  unfortunately my wife would hate it.

Forget writing the senators and congresscritters though.  They're not
part of the solution, they're part of the problem.  Their view of
private space enterprise is largely that it rocks the boat, they don't
control it, and they can't get any pork out of it.



(This reminds me, I really need to get around to sending a resume to
Burt Rutan.  It's a long shot, but....)
