I think the cost is more like $5000 a kit. --- Carl

Not sure how I feel about a $20,000 kit rocket. It seems like a shortcut
that encourages those who do not understand what they are doing to play
with cryogenic fuels and oxidizers. Could a kit rocket capable of
performing at FAR MARS even be reliably produced in such a short time frame?
