I personally know a number of the principals, and I'm quite hopeful that they'll be able to deliver. They understand the importance of keeping design-test-modify cycles short, and they have a creative design team.
At least two of the MSS folks are regular commenters here - Jon Goff and Mike Mealling - and I think Dave Masten has popped in from time to time, too (this is aimed at other folks diving into the comments, not you, Rand - I know you know this stuff already).
Full disclosure: I've talked with Dave about finder's fees for plasma physics experiments, and I'll be trying to do a little informal market research for them at the APS conference later this year.

Aleta: Thanks, it should be a lot of fun and a lot of work. You at XCOR set a high standard to try and match (or exceed). :-)
