proving once again that "failure is not an option" is a direct patch to
failure.
And wings suck for helping to get to orbit.
and the competition continues to prove that reusable boosters rock.
it is remarkable to me that it costs so damn much to keep a conventional
airliner flying when your paying flight rate is only a few per year.
Maybe if you had a strap-on rocket hanger and could just rent one that is
in commercial service for a few days a year....
But orbital is all about velocity and not much about altitude. And wings
suck for that.
