I have a question for ULA: Several years ago, ULA's YouTube channel posted a "Cislunar 1000" presentation video that featured a public speech by ULA's Tory Bruno and other ULA personnel. The video presentation focused on the use of Vulcan/Centaur and ACES to set up a re-usable cislunar transportation system that would greatly lower the cost of transportation between Earth orbit and lunar orbit. The thrust of the presentation was to show that ACES, used as a cislunar ferry/tug/tanker (FTT) would revolutionize cislunar transportation and facilitate the growth and development of a new cislunar economy. Strangely, this "Cislunar 1000" video recently disappeared from YouTube. Are there plans to revise and restore it soon? Any idea when that would happen? I am a big believer in the cislunar FTT concept, and that presentation was an excellent way to show people how it would work. Thank you for your time and attention.
