Thanks for your mail.  I don't much care for heavy-lift
vehicles since "lift" is not our problem: access to space
is.  We must learn to walk before we run: only a smaller
vehicle like Phoenix can do this economically.
 
I also like to remind people that the Berlin airlift was
conducted with aircraft which had about the same cargo lift
capacity as the Phoenix...
