    Well it at least sounds like Virgin Galactic is working on something although that may or may not be any signs of progress. On another note there has been no word at all from XCOR about the Lynx. They appear to be way behind their estimates on when it would roll out of the hanger. Does this mean that XCOR too may not be making much progress?
