Rockets Away - Radio Premieres The XCOR Interviews - Features CEO, Jeff Greason And Test Pilot, Dick Rutan

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.

The full-length interview is now available to all new subscribers to Rockets Away! A special “teaser” can be heard by clicking on http://www.rocketsaway.net/audio/teasers/teaser_greason.mp3
