Did Scaled Composites make the right choice?
Mr Rutan, before he retired, decided that since a hybrid latex-NOX rocket motor worked well on Space Ship One, he would use a similar propulsion system on Space Ship Two.
There are many impatient (not-too-well-informed) space enthusiasts; young geeky kids who have never handled so much as a greasy wrench; who claim that he made a bad choice , what with the delay in installation of a hydrid rocket motor in Space Ship Two. I'm not sure if they have a valid grievance.
Did Mr. Rutan make the right choice or not?
