That is not what I was asking. I was asking what the specific cost to refurbish an orbiter between missions. We all know what the total systems cost is.
Any word how the breaking news bit on the Ares V went over with the crowd?
Right now though, Congress is effectively operating in a vacuum (pun totally intended). They just don't have any other information to base their decisions upon other than the official company line coming out of NASA - which is being tightly controlled by Griffin.
We thought everyone might like to see the presentation and video that Steve showed at the ISDC in Washington.Here’s the presentation.Here’s the videoBoth are ~11 mb.Enjoy.
Totally unofficial, but ISDC went extremely well for us.{Snip}His presentation followed immediately after Stephen's on Thursday and essentially resulted in a whole hour of DIRECT-related time. At the end of that, both Eric and Stephen went out into the halls and have another hour and a half of discussions with most of the crowds from the presentation hall.{Snip}A lot of good feedback came from those present and a lot of new contacts were made - some of which are turning out to be really exciting for us. We're going to see where they all lead before we will talk about those though.Ross.
