Talked to my NASA friend last night. She's heavy into a project at
work right now, but says she'll get me some answers on max altitude
for the Shuttle transport and hopefully some drag figures. Gotta
remember that NASA doen't like the latest turn of manned flying
events. SS1 made em' look kinda bad!

Well, no kidding. They've been sitting on DCX for years, until 18
months ago thought the Shuttle was the "be all, end all" and had no
real goals beyond Fred.

Now people are asking what they are getting for their billions when a
bunch of amateur airplane builders can get into space (ignoring for a
moment just how "amateur" Scaled really is, but you get the point).
