Congratulations on the Space Adventures agreement!

This is very good news. Congratulations to Armadillo on what I hope will be a successful partnership. I hope your multi-module development goes well.

Cheers!

(p.s. Thanks for twittering, John!)

actually, they already posted that news in april, but it had disappeared from the site...

Looks like it was reposted now.

Yeah, we had a power outage that required the site to be restored from backup, and for some reason, the backup was a few months old. So I had to re-create a few things we had added since the backup; we should be all back up to date now.

Is this agreement related to the NASA funded research program?
Or am I confusing things here?

BTAIM, I do congratulate Armadillo Aerospace on its plans
within the next two months to launch two flights
upto nine miles altitude above Oklahoma.
(That's above 90% of the earth's atmosphere if I'm not mistaken;
good altitude to test maneuvering thrusters and gas-jets).

And, if I'm not mistaken, AA is planning to carry out a third
launch and flight under NASA's sponsorship, early next year,
upto an altitude of 25 miles above NM.

As far as I'm concerned, 25 miles up is within the boundary region to outer
space. A good place to test all the systems in your rocket-propelled craft.

Congratulations! AA is about to turn a major corner in its ambitious program.
