This does not look like a serious project at all. Go look at their blog and check out their mission control van[1]... And then there's the submarine. With the memory of the Titan implosion wandering in my head, I would never go near what appears to be a "home brew" submarine. Event at shallow depths. And the mention of AI on the page about that sub is... odd... Yeah, just no. JMHO. [1] http://jpaerospace.com/blog/?p=8042 http://jpaerospace.com/blog/?p=8042

  Don't know whether the Air Force ever tosses money at long shots, but this would appear to be one. To be clear, I'm not anywhere near the aerospace industry, and have no actual knowledge other than what the media gives me -- but the pictures on their web site look like someone's garage rather than a professional aerospace lab. BTW, it looks like that contract was (a) very short lived, and (b) not aimed at the orbital stuff.

Why do amateur space craft and submarines go together? See Copenhagen Suborbitals.
