I was half way through a reply to your previous post when something came up and I had to abandon it.<BR/><BR/>I was going to give you an update on the progress of VASIMR development and let you know that Dr. Chang-Diaz had taken his invention to the private-sector. I'll just add that they seem to have completed their testing of the 100 MW prototype engine (VX-100), and are ready to begin development of their first flight model (VF-100) as well as testing of a 200 MW prototype (VX-200). I think they have also lined up their first potential commercial client (although the name escapes me at the moment).<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good blogging. I appreciate your efforts even if I seldom get the chance to contribute in kind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637928679060945364noreply@blogger.com
