I know of several companies that went for capability A&B only but none of those made the cut. It really shows that NASA is looking to see if the alt.space community can deliver on their words of humans to space. I hope they can.

Another cool website! Keep up the good work.
While Andrew’s remains “tight-lipped” about their plans, their webpage, http://www.andrews-space.com/, has a interesting graphic of their full scale mock-up of a 5.4 meter capsule for delivering cargo to the ISS and up to 10 people to LEO. Ten people to LEO has possibilities for tourism. It will be interesting to see how many of these final six will be funded after negotiations.
Also, it looks like Andrews is missing from your Company links section.
