Another application could be deflection of killer asteroids. I think there is one that is known to have a small chance of hitting us within a couple decades (vs a minuscule chance of hitting us within a century). I sat fly out, land, and shift its trajectory by half a degree so that it can't hit the Earth. Unless we want to send Bruce Willis, a bunch of roughnecks, and a nuke instead ...

I hope the private sector uses the new rocket to fly to the moon and back just for practice runs.

"...Franklin Chang-Diaz, a seven-time shuttle flier who left NASA in 2005 to start a company and work full time developing the rocket."
Doesn't anyone else find that interesting? He left NASA to develop a rocket. Further evidence that the private sector is the way FORWARD!
