You're horribly delusional. Try looking at the X-33 program and tell us
again how quick and easy it would be to build a "triangle spaceplane". Part
of the problem with such a design is the shape of the fuel tanks, which is
exactly where X-33 had some serious problems. More time and money might
have fixed those issues, but the program was cancelled because of the
reluctance to throw good money after bad.
