Aero-News Quote of the Day

"This license means we only have to seek approval for significant changes that materially affect the safety of the uninvolved public... Our goal is for RLV developers to conduct test flights with the flexibility and ease of development normally associated with experimental aircraft. The terms of this license represent significant progress towards this goal. It is helpful that RLV companies can obtain their launch licenses during vehicle design, prior to committing capital to build a vehicle."
