Nino Pollizzi<\/a> was interviewed on the Space Show yesterday and talked about the Rocket Science Tutors<\/a> volunteer education program, which I posted about here<\/a> recently: Nino Pollizzi, Sunday, 2-3-13 – Thespaceshow’s Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pollizzi also talked about one of the original NewSpace projects, the DC-X reusable rocket<\/a>, which he worked on.<\/p>\n

In our second segment of this 1 hour 42 minute program, we talked about the DC-X as Nino worked on that program when he was with McDonnell Douglas.\u00a0 DC-X is having their 20th reunion this August in New Mexico, an event which Nino talked about during our discussion.\u00a0 We also talked about the DC-X vehicle, its problems, the plans to scale up the demo to the two more advanced models, and ultimately its cancellation and the NASA selection of the X-33.\u00a0 Nino also took some questions about the possibility of a single stage to orbit vehicle with a useful payload.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More DC-X resources can be found here<\/a>. And here is a video about the DC-X<\/p>\n
