possible private funding for Shuttle #5
The February 12 issue of Science magazine states that the Space
Transportation Company, a group of investment bankers and venture
capitalists, is considering funding the fifth Shuttle.  STC is considering
raising one billion dollars privately, and then turning the shuttle over to
NASA (or whomever is operating shuttles in 1986), in return for which STC
would become the sole ticketing and marketing agent for all commercial and
foreign users of the STS.
