Why is the making of a SSTP regarded by the uneducated as so difficult?

It may have something to do with 'equations' that purport to show that
bigger means -- nothing -- because the DV and Mass Ratios are the same
as smaller ones. This is false.

A 1 inch perfect replica of a Saturn V will never, ever make it to the
Moon. By the same token, a 1000 mile high perfect replica of a Saturn
V could probably send a payload beyond the Moon -- maybe even to Mars.

It may have something to do with 'X amount of energy requirement for a
200 mile high orbit'. Wings or not you have to have 'X amount of
energy', they say.

Of course, in one sense they a correct. But a winged vehicle takes
energy from gravity to assist it in pushing up against gravity.

How so? Gravity pushes against the air causing 1 atmosphere of
pressure. A fair amount of pressure, by the way, capable of crushing
cans. Just remove the compensating air from inside a can and it will
crush flat.

A waverider puts dense, compressed, air underneath of it and rarifies
the air on top by making it travel farther than the air underneath.
Thus, the waveriding spaceplane is pushed from underneath and pulled
from on top by gravity/air atmospheric pressure.

With speed increase the air becomes denser so the push becomes harder
and the pull becomes greater. Mixed with the energy from gravity's
pushing the air molecules is the 'drag' energy being taken from the
spaceplane's engines. This complicates things but does not stop
gravity from giving a lot of assistance to the spaceplane.

Rocket equations take drag into consideration, but not gravity's
assistance. While vertical/tubular rockets have drag too, it doesn't
apply to them, because they don't have wings for using atmospheric
energy.

This is why it is true that it takes 'X amount of energy' to do a given
amount of work for whatever vehicle is chosen. And, it explains why a
'winged rocket' does so much better than a vertical/tubular rocket.
Wings draw energy from gravity itself through the medium of air
molecules that are being 'squeezed' to the Earth.

So, all in all it means that success will come by making one gigantic
monster of a waverider: tomcat's huge gleaming white triangular
spaceplane.
