Accelerated Edge of space program
Why Accelerated? it's accelerated in it's time to get flying. Basic conceptual work has begun 1st Feb 2011, flight is planned for mid June 2011. The previous EoS was too ambitious to be a realistic project. The aim now is for simplicity, reuse of existing technology and techniques, and get above the clouds as quickly as possible.

the rough schedule looks something like this:
| Date | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Feb | Concept and Planning |
| March | Start Buying stuff |
| April | Building, Programming |
| May | Build Continues, +testing |
| June | june 21st Fly! |
