TSTO spaceplanes
 
by IKE - 19-4-2006

notes

The projects that were presented in this article although cancelled or even at the verge of science fiction indicates that with the current (or even 30 year old!) technology we can have easy, safe and cheap (especially if mass produced) access to space. Today apart from the partially reusable space shuttle we are using expensive, unsafe and difficult to operate expendable rockets. Maybe the day that access to orbit will be almost as easy as using an airliner isn't very far.
