Re: 10 meter diameter CaLV

On Sun, 30 Apr 2006 12:29:16 -0400, in a place far, far away,
"jonathan" <Write@xxxxxxxxxxx> made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

If we were to build two new launchers, one for manned and
the other heavy lift /without/ the requirement of a moon mission.
But for earth orbit missions only, what would be the best
design then?

What would be the need for such a vehicle?


Putting lots of people, and cargo, into earth orbit.

It would cost too much. We don't need heavy lift. We need cheap
lift.
