Damn, you go on and on and on rather than answer a simple question.

Why the heck are you so defensive?

For the record, I never said you were a traitor, dude. I only said if
you were alluding to a top-secret aircraft like the alleged Aurora
aircraft, you'd be a traitor - so that COULDN'T be it!

SO, we're stuck with two other possiblitieis, the aircraft I suggested,
and the space shuttle which I didn't think to include because it flies
mainly on orbit and that would be way cooler than flying at Mach 5 and
300,000 ft.




I tried to explain to you once before that the Usenet is not an 'appeal
to authority' medium. That is because it is so easy for people to use
disguise on it. This does not take away, however, from the Usenet's
efficacy in distributing new ideas and for immediate feedback on one's
ideas.

Therefore, I am not attempting to 'sell' myself as even so much as a
pilot, though I did fly military aircraft prior to retirement. I
simply conjure up 'new' ideas that should enable man to open Outer
Space up.

Look, let's do a little 'thought experiment'.

Take 4 SRB's and strap a small cockpit to it. Would this achieve LEO.
Of course. It would not, however, accomplish much except prove that
SSTO is possible.

Now, take 4 SRB's and put in a center section with 4 SSMEs on it and
necessary hydrogen and oxygen. Then put a small cockpit on that. The
SSMEs would generate about 1.6 million pounds of thrust. The 4 SRBs
would generate 12 million pounds of thrust. The 4 SRBs weight 4
million pounds. The center section would weigh about 1.6 million
pounds. Total GLOW would be about 6 million pounds with 13.6 million
pounds of thrust.

Now instead of a simple SSTO you have the ability to rendezvous, alter
orbit, and retrofire to a safe capsule return.

Now, use a combination of SRBs and SSMEs, a waverider body for HTOL
(Horizontal Take Off and Land) and SSTO is a 'piece of cake'.

Remember that an SRB is basically a single stage Minuteman Missile and
that is capable of taking a light load into LEO. The SSMEs give you
maneuverability and retrofire capability. The waverider will do a
'planetfall' and land like the shuttle.

Once the primary math figures are in place you can jockey them around
until you have the right combination of SRBs and SSMEs for a 250,000
pound cargo load.

Now, that wasn't difficult, was it?
