Re: How Rockets Differ From Jets

I agree, that a new and thus greatly improved CNT/basalt composite
spaceplane having less than half the dry mass per volume isn't going to
require more than the three SSMEs, especially once deploying the 100t
payload should get their thrust requirements down to using just one of
the three SSMEs.

Kurt Vonnegut would have to agree; WAR is WAR, thus "in war there are
no rules" - In fact, war has been the very reason of having to deal
with the likes of others that haven't been playing by whatever rules,
such as GW Bush.
