My External Tank derived launcher will radically reduce the cost of
space flight. It is a lower cost variation of what the USAF proposed
in 1988 with their Advanced Launch System (ALS) to implement Star Wars
cheaply. My system is lower cost because I will complete it in five
years privately, not 12 years through a collection of public
agencies. I will also benefit from work that has been completed on
the XRS-2200 and the RS-68 - which wasn't available in 1988. So, in
the end, I will do for $7 billion what USAF estimated in 1988 would
take $15 billion.

The system is imminently achievable and immediately profitable
resolving the issue our planet faces with respect to energy.

The fleet of vehicles and supply chain I will build for $12 billion
will place a 10,000 MW power satellite on orbit that is worth $80.5
billion the day it is switched on five years after program start.
2,500 similar satellites orbited in the subsequent 10 years will
eliminate fossil fuel use on this planet, and set the stage for a
powerful resurgence in our economy.

It will also set the stage for a radical expansion in the use of space
based assets and resources and the start of real off-world
development.
