Default spaceship one as sounding rocket ..

well ..

i did not think of it as any port in a storm - just of an additional
way to make money with it ..

is there any way to make payload / height comparisions of ss1 with
exiting sounding rockets - i have looked (a little) and did not find
the proper information ..

one thing that has not yet mentioned (at least i could not find any
mention of this) is the opportunity of using SSO as a manned sounding
rocket ..
