Manned options

Hi Gary

The newsletter says that SpaceX is aiming for human spaceflight eventually - what do you think they will try for? Capsules with ablatives or something trickier? SpaceDev wants to develop a personnel vehicle based on the X-37 [?] probably launched on some of their hybrid rockets. They say it'll save development because of all the good NASA data for the design.
