- Are you saying that they had not even started production of
- Pegasus No.2 in April, 1990? Maybe this is true, but it seems
- a very strange way for OSC to be operating.
-
- By the way, please do not take my pointing out Pegasus
- difficulties as being an indication that I am anti-Pegasus.
- I like this system, alot. I am merely using it as the most
- recent example of a space booster which has not maintained
- its schedule, something it is my contention will happen
- to DC as well.
