Thingstad" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

I am a bit disappointed that we have not yet seen a successful
single stage to orbit rocket this decade.
But I am hopeful that we will see one in the next.
We are so close..

Actually, it's not clear that we're close at all. Fortunately, SSTO
is not necessary to make access to space affordable.

Well you probably know more about this than I do.
Perhaps I am a bit over optimistic.
Still it would be great..
