Free software or a marketing move?

They have all the weight they need to pull this through. I'm dreaming of a day in which they will switch all Youtube videos to WebM, with all the Apple devices becoming useless to watch Internet video :) And Steve Jobs struggling to explain why, after wearing the mantle of open standards in the whole Flash vs HTML5 thing, he's now pushing H.264 against WebM... Anyway, in my view the less encumbered formats around the best for everyone's freedom.

I like the 4 stage system. But how did they solve the plume issue ?

The plume issue is not that difficult. I think they used something similar on Apollo LES. The problem is stabilizing the entire system, which is extremely difficult. The entire system will most likely plummet down after the solar balloon phase (which is the only phase they tested before). At least they are not using government money :).
