What is this? A spaceplane for ants? How can we be expected to get people and stuff into space if it can’t even fit inside this spaceplane? Read more

I’m an expert in spaceplane after 10k hours playing KSP. Taking off horizontally using a rocket does not get you to orbit. You better take off vertically, then switch to horizontally to gain speed. Using bi-propellent in an atmosphere is a huge waste. Read more
