Not with this plan. Griffin just shot the VSE in the foot. There's no way he
can afford to develop SDLV, the "schtick", AND the CEV on the budget
available to him. Nice boner, Griffin. Congress is gonna puke when they see
the bill for this jobs program.

Oh well, it was interesting while it lasted. We now return you to the same
ol' NASA, the National Aerospace Study Administration. (our motto,
"powerpoint never killed anyone").
