Doug,  XCOR, and Jon,

My apologies.
Thank you for the correction.

And thank you for showing "demon juice" can be tamed, with knowledgeable people

All of XCOR's LH2 handling technology and operations skills were either homegrown or bought from third party vendors (notably the LH2 tankage was built by Prentex, using a technique that I invented to reduce heat leaks by a factor of three).

ULA compensated *us*, until Congress sat on its hands and ULA ran out of couch cushion money.

XCOR's ability to work with LH2 suggests it might not be the cryogenic demon juice that it sometimes is considered in this crowd.

Emacs!
Seems like a really heavy dewar in the background.
