NASA is seaking private contractors to handle the cargo flights to space
station. Do you think that Burt Rutan will jump on chance to bid for that?

IMHO, no. NASA would expect the winner to be ready to start bringing cargo
soon after the bid is awarded. That would mean that the winner would have
to have a system in place, or nearly so, already. That will mean it will
have to be a non reusable system,, probably unmanned, and that is not where
he is headed.

Reusable or not, by bet is that the winner will be unmanned. Just my
guesses.
