The Japanese DC-X

The Japanese have been quietly working on their version of the DC-X, a VTOL rocket called the RTV-9. This video shows it doing its thing. Very, very cool. I would love to see more of this type of thing. It is a very neat little rocket, though most of the press on it is in Japanese.
