All set to go?
Among the many reports about the latest EADS/Partner governments agreement is this from the Seattle Times dated Friday 5th March:
>> EADS and the German Defense Ministry said the two sides had reached basic agreement, with the idea of amending the original contract in the coming weeks << (my bold).
While this sounds like good news at last, I just hope that "Captain Tom" (aka Mr. Enders) will agree to Phase 2 of flight testing starting right away, rather than waiting for all the t-crossing and i-dotting to be finalised ("ASAP" leaves too much leeway as an expression of urgency, I feel). Otherwise even more weeks will be lost, which is something the programme can very much not afford ...
