Competition
Is NGL intended to compete with ULA proposals like Vulcan ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:43, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Is this just a concept asking for govt funding
All the sources/ reports make it sound like a concept asking for US govt funding. Has anything been built or tested ? What funds have been allocated to the development ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:23, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Rod57, I've looked, and have not found any good sources that indicate this company wants to build this rocket like an ordinary private development project, where the company fronts the capital to develop the technology on its own to place into the market and then just compete on economic grounds. All the sources seen look like the planned customer is paid-in-advance by-US-goevernment development, and then get operational contracts for launches to that same customer later. Cheers.

- Thanks N2e - Perhaps all work to date is under the Jan 2016 contract with USAF - It would be nice if we could say how that contract worked out ( which options chosen by USAF ) and when that work (and funding) terminated. - Rod57 (talk) 12:25, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, agreed. Those are exactly the sorts of questions that ought to be explicated in a good encyclopedia. Pleased to know you will be watching for that sort of stuff as well. Maybe consider adding an {{update after}} template to the article where it is most in need of this info. Cheers. N2e (talk) 13:29, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
