#1 Once again with feeling: NORTHROP is an aerospace company. NORTHRUP is a seed company. A basic mistake like this taints the whole article.

#2 Ha! Little do you know, RWV, that deep inside their secret laboratories in Dubuque, Northrup is testing its genetically-modified Meteorologically Adapted Zero-gee Orbital Lift Ability cornstalk, made of graphite composites and capable of growing to an altitude of 300 miles! Once they've perfected the orbital platform, look for them to deploy the Popcorn of Doom! MUAHAHAHAHA!

#3 Moreover, [the] response [of the large aerospace companies to] the challenge of building the CEV seems remarkably timid, considering their experience.

Been there, seen that, this isn't exactly news. If there's a more stifling and risk-averse bureaucracy than that created by career DC sycophants it'll be found only in the defense/aerospace sector. NASA should award this one to the little guys if for no other reason than to serve notice to the dinosaurs that their end is nigh.
