  “I propose we first develop a reusable earth lander.” LOL The critical path to Mars and beyond lol Isn’t there some little company working their A$% off on that idea? You would think if NASA really wanted us to settle/explore...

  Spacelab1 I disagree with your time table but I like your point about chariots Seems to me NASA should do some more work on Scram or ram jets. Sure seems to me that adding scram jet assist to that falcon...

  Maybe Elon needs to break down and add a jet or two to that falcon lite booster for hover before landing or flyback to a runway. :) DTARS...

• Commented on Stratolaunch Systems Unveiled

  Well I knew Spacex needed a little old fashion jet power to get that added fuel margin to slow down and recover that falcon booster lol This sure looks like a workable solution to recover EVERY part of a rocket...
