Earned this week by the Yanks. They seem to have gotten half their money back. The press report I saw said they spent $20M to get the prize of $10M.

Hey, wait a minute! How much has NASA been spending on their stupid booster rockets? Do they still think that Werner von Braun's answer was the one for them?

Private enterprise strikes again!
