Rockets Away! Media announces the XCOR interviews. Anchor Bill McCoy interviews CEO Jeff Greason. XCOR has just been awarded $7 million contract with NASA for helping to develop cryogenic composite tank. Greason tells how a small company with hardly any capital developed a winning protocol to create the basis for the Xerus, a new type of sub-orbital vehicle being developed now. XCOR's test pilot, Dick Rutan tells what it was like to fly the EZ-Rocket, an airplane driven by XCOR's experimental liquid rocket technology.
(PRWEB) May 5, 2005 -- Rockets Away! presents an in-depth look at one of the
most dramatic start-ups in the private space industry. In the XCOR interview,
Anchor Bill McCoy meets the courageous head of XCOR Aerospace, Jeff Greason, who
has leveraged a company from virtually no capital with a group of engineers who
had recently experienced a serious business failure in the rocket industry, to
one of the most dynamic contenders in the field of sub-orbital spaceflight. This
is followed by an interview with legendary test pilot, Dick Rutan. Rutan has
flown the EZ-Rocket, XCOR’s rocket-powered airplane that has tested its growing
number of proven liquid rocket engines, igniters and pumps, bringing this
company to the cutting edge of affordable spaceflight alternatives.

full-length interview is now available to all new subscribers to Rockets Away! A
