Is anyone familiar with Gary Hudson and his present company. I heard of Gary Hudson in the early 70's when he was starting up a privately funded company to construct space ships. Now I hear he is doing the same on the west coast with a company or a different name. Is this on the up and up or is it merely an attempt to garner venture capital ? The space craft designs that I saw of his were very (I.E. extremely) sophisticated, and to my somewhat non-hardware oriented mind impractical, including a single stage vertically landing and takeoff ramjet / rocket propelled vehicle that could reach low earth orbit or higher with a payload of 40 people, and some very large payload rockets. Any comments anyone ?? -- Kurt W. Allen 3M Center ihnp4!mmm!allen
