Default Firefly *aerospike* SLV

Hello All,

A SpaceX alumnus is developing a LOX/methane powered, aerospike engine-equipped satellite launch vehicle (SLV) called Firefly (see: http://www.fireflyspace.com/ ), which will go after the Falcon 1 small satellite (and particularly, CubeSat) market sector that SpaceX chose to abandon for the large-payload, medium-lift market that they serve with their Falcon 9. This Aviation Week article on Firefly (see: http://aviationweek.com/space/space...-market-firefly ) includes a good drawing of it as well as a link to the company website.
