Talk:XCOR Aerospace

XCOR/Masten collaboration
This news seems important, and probably needs to be reflected in the article. "XCOR Aerospace and Masten Space Systems announced they were teaming up to develop robotic landers that could go to the moon, to asteroids, to Mars or anyplace else NASA wants them to visit."

The media source is here: Shooting for the moon, Alan Boyle, Cosmic Log, MSNBC.com 2010-05-25. N2e (talk) 00:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Forbes article
The Forbes source I just added as a citation for one specific fact has quite a bit of additional info in it about XCOR, history, current work, status, company philosophy and future plans. Don't have time to improve the article any further right now but that source is a useful one for anyone interested. N2e (talk) 17:31, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Demise of Lynx
Given that development of the Lynx project has ceased, perhaps we could usefully trim the "XCOR Space Expeditions" section of the article devoted to selling joyrides on this paper plane? Information about the commercial payload sales on future models seems a little over the top, and we could dump that as well. If (an unlikely combination IMHO) work were to resume on the project and the thing actually went beyond advertising copy, maybe we could review our material, but we're in the business of providing information, not fantasy. --Pete (talk) 18:26, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
 * AIUI, the whole company is in turmoil. We can't really say that Lynx is dead. Probably depends on the survival of the company. And that depends on what engine ULA will chose for ACES in the future. That decision should be taken in the next couple of years and then we'll know for sure.Baldusi (talk) 20:08, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The Lynx is not dead. XCOR has had to refocus on other programs temporarily, but the project is not canceled. RocketGuy88 (talk) 01:11, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe. But in the meantime, what sort of useful information is being provided with material about selling seats and launching payloads? Even if development of the prototype were to resume immediately, operational flights are years away, let alone development, testing and operation of follow-on models. If and when the Lynx prototype flies, then information on operations and sales might be relevant, but at the moment it's superfluous. --Pete (talk) 06:47, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
