Me da a mi que Artemis va a tener algunos problemillas para estar en la luna. Aunque con semejante explosión puede eyectar a los astronautas en vuelo directo y sin motor.

Now we just need to add an oxidizer to allow it to operate in space. Ya I know I'm over simplifying that last bit, but it is progress and what we should be sinking $$$ into instead of the same old same old.

Right?

This is the Kerbal Space Program mentality
There are actually many reasons why an HTOL SSTO is not a very good idea in real life, so many in fact that if I listed all of them I would be here all day
Conventional chemical rockets are too inefficient, and jet engines add a ton of complexity that you really, really would rather not have
Thus, I entirely understand why nobody has bothered to actually build one yet

that was a bigger bomb then last year's box office

and I'll send anybody an ass pick if they get that last reference first one gets it

If today's U.S. centi-billionaires were taxed at the same rates as in the 1960s, how many Apollo program budgets could be funded with that tax revenue?

Basically a giant Segway of explosive fuel.

We made progress with the space shuttle but now we're back to capsules like Apollo and Mercury. We should be able to take off from a runway, fly up, transition and then go to space.

That’s pretty new technology.

The goal of capitalism is to make money. Old design with cost-cutting is the strategy.

It's the same old same old 1970s rocket tech.
