Re: [DMCForum] Re: Kicking Martin's What? (With 200 HP)

Hey, not arguing other stuff, but the lack of any move towards economy 
has left american engines as a bit of a laughing stock everywhere else.

I've also been to Marshall Space Center and Johnson SC, but remember 
also that we came up with Concorde (and I have read that some of your 
guys think that was a bigger achievement - dunno about that tho'). I 
love the whole moon mission saga and read every book I can find on the 
subject.
