re: #54 William Lewis

X-33/VentureStar type craft. Vertical launch, horizontal landing. Can also be 100% reusable.

Instead of needing to be “different” with a model out of bad SF from the 50’s.

If wanting to avoid that is petty, I’ll be petty and stick with sensible engineering.

Great, then build a company to do it. If it is so cost effective and practical why isn’t Lockheed pumping them out…
