a license is a far cry from a space ship. rutans ship is much lighter from extensive use of composite material and the hybrid rocket engine he is using has already pushed his vehicle to 1.5 mach on a 15 second burn, i find that rather impressive.

From what I know, the Nazis were developing a concept for a space shuttle way back during WW2. The ship looks amazingly similar to the space shuttle of today..

Not seen or heard one thing from that lot before, Kaz Their website says they've fired a whole lot of rockets, but don't detail any test flights comparable to Burt's stuff. 'Less they're keeping them all secret...

That looks like a rip off of the old Hermes design ( the wings and stuff ).
