Either case, this EADS does have the potential of making spaceports almost as common as airports.

And hopefully with economics to scale, the price will eventually be affordable to the common citizen.

There is no business case and they are no willing to invest their own money. No wonder they are so far behind technically and on the verge of bankruptcy.<br/><br/>Next....
