As you all probably heard in the past few days (actually on TV last night), the SSTO rocket program, known as DC-X, has been cancelled as well. Even with congressionally approved funds, the money will not be spent. As a matter of fact, DC-X has NOT been cancelled. The BMDO was allocated $40 M to finish DC-X1 and to begin development of DC-X2. Unfortunately, the Department of Defense has witheld this money "pending review," and all remaining funds necessary to keep the program team together were to be exhausted as of February 1 (i.e., yesterday). In other words, rather than kill DC-X, DoD decided to allow it to starve to death. There is late-breaking word, however. Apparently, NASA may have slipped a care package under the door at the last minute. They have apparently transferred $1 M to the program, in order to keep it alive until *someone* can light a fire under DoD. DC-X may still be alive. I'm waiting to hear more from the SAS group. If you are on the DC-X political action mailing list, I strongly suggest that you follow the latest recommendations on who to contact and what to say. It will be a supreme irony if this inexpensive and successful experimental demonstrator project were to die of apathy before pushing its envelope to the design limits. ...Russ Schnapp Email: netcom!metaflow!rschnapp or rschnapp@Metaflow.com or rschnapp@ACM.org Metaflow Technologies Voice: 619/452-6608x230; FAX: 619/452-0401 La Jolla, California Unless otw specified, I`m speaking only for myself! ------------------------------ From: Dave Cox Date: Wed, 2 Feb 1994 08:46:33 Subject: Re: AW&ST >Can anyone tell me how I could get information on a subscription to >AW&ST?

This is way off-topic, but I wonder, have any of you got a picture (.gif, .jpg, whatever) of a Rockwell OV-10 Bronco? Or even know of an FTP site with one. It's one of my favorites, but you just don't hear or see much of it. Plus, it's being retired from USMC in September. I can't believe they canceled DC-X. I wonder what will happen to the craft?

If you want to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-skunk-works": subscribe skunk-works-digest local-skunk-works@your.domain.net To unsubscribe, send mail to the same address, with the command: unsubscribe skunk-works-digest in the body. Administrative requests, problems, and other non-list mail can be sent to either "skunk-works-digest-owner@harbor.ecn.purdue.edu" or, if you don't like to type a lot, "prm@ecn.purdue.edu". A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "skunk-works-digest" in the commands above with "skunk-works". Back issues are available for anonymous FTP from harbor.ecn.purdue.edu, in /pub/skunk-works/digest/vNN.nMMM (where "NN" is the volume number, and "MMM" is the issue number).
