That came off sounding snarky.  Sorry about that.  What I meant to say was
that Roton has been on the skids for quite awhile.  Some of the other RLV
companies have also been on the skids, although they were not as public as
Roton.  Roton is dead.

That is a little misleading on my part.  Anderson invested in
Roton.  Hudson rant the company.  I believe (am not sure) that Anderson
got cold feet on Roton early in the year.  Then Hudson left.  Once Hudson
left, it was clear that Roton was effectively dead, because he was the guy
producing the show.
