Marketing goes where the money is and the press goes where the inventors are. Then they tear them down. See news at ten. The Brits wrote a paper in 1947 describing a manned rocket using a German V2. Today, the Canadians are testing a similar design as their entry for the X-prize. Meanwhile, Konrad Dannenberg, who was part of the team that actually did the original design tells us that what the Canadians are doing is a bit dangerous because of the lack of a turbopump, but the Canadians have a complete set of V2 drawings and are moving on relentlessly. And so it goes in the world of taking designs from one group and claiming it for one's own achievements and fame. It may not be fair, but it is certainly modern. len From: Michael Kay [mailto:michael.h.kay@n...] > http://www.support.psi.com/support/common/inet-serv/dns/hierarc.html A wonderful view of the internet as an all-American institution. Amazing. The worrying thing is, one gets the impression the people who paint this kind of picture don't even realise how parochial their world view is.
