So yesterday I posted about the Delta Clipper. And today, word starts filtering out that Bill Gaubatz, Delta Clipper program manager at McDonnell-Douglas, has passed away.
Sonova…
I met him a number of times through setting up Mid-Continent Space Development Conferences at Iowa State U, where he came a few times to give presentations on DC-X and how we were on the cusp of a new era in space. And he personally invited me and others down to White Sands to watch the first public launch.
Bah, I say. Bah.
