Usually I’d agree with you, but this time I’m willing to give Griffin the bennefit of the doubt.

He has the bug, and hopefully some of the middle management that really runs NASA will soften to him because he is a space cadet. Others so entrenched in their fiefdoms won’t. It only takes a pebble to start an avalanche.

I’ll give him to end of year before I’ll worry too much. But i’ll be ever watchfull.

Besides, give Burt more credit, he already had that happen to him on the DC-X. So he is aware of the way NASA moves and will be on the lookout. Burt also has the bug. It won’t stop him, provided he can get funding. Which i’m confident that he will, no matter what tricks NASA trys.

Or who knows, maybe it’s SS2. But either of those makes a lot more sense than it being a lunar lander.
