Single stage to sub-orbit - that's no mean feat. Believe it when I see it of course, but they get full marks for bold thinking.

That pic looks like a Robin Reliant with a jet engine stuck in the back (door removed, of course) and a couple of wings bolted on to the side.

I, too, will believe it when I see it!

I had the great pleasure of attending Caltech with Jeff. He was one of the most motivated and smartest student in our class. If he thinks this can be done, I have no doubt he can get it done.

Just hope he has an old school friends discount!

That is exactly what it is, a cheap means to get somewhere. Then again, I do not really think that vehicle looks like that "half-car-half-motorcycle" thingy which made feel embarrassed of being a Brit when i was still at school on the continent ...

Look at the add:

CEO Jeff may be a nice guy, but he needs to dust of his highschool science book! The internationally recognized boundary of "space" is an altitude of 100km. The Lynx AIRCRAFT has max altitude capability of 61km. Anyone paying $100K for a trip to space will be getting an expensive lesson in proper definitions. I'm sure it will be a fun high altitude PLANE ride, but SPACEcraft it is not! And what's up with Ricky Searfoss comments??? He's been to space, but apparently can't remember the way?
