Earth to Bob, come in Bob... Four times its current (planned) size would be a 1,500 foot wingspan. Think about that for a while. A wingspan longer than the USS Nimitz or longer than the Empire State Building is tall. You want to FLY that? Brian The bobbert lives in his own fantasy world. Keep that in mind. When reality intrudes on his fantasies, it gets tossed aside-just as he would if he took his "proposals" to Congress: he'd be laughed out of the committee room, they'd hold the door open for him, and he'd get a kick in the ass on the way out. |

so you believe that while cutting medicare and social security for the masses congress will increase or even not cut space spending? When did they "cut Medicare and social security for the masses". Reality doesn't even begin to intrude into your delusional little world, does it? http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/12/...6pLid%3D120433 read and attempt to understand the part where benefits are forcibly reduced |

Yeah, no reason at all. *Well, other than the whole "how big an airplane have you got to carry it" thingy... well certinally no airliner could be larger than a DC8, I mean larger than that would be impossible |

Whoever said that, given the Hercules H1, Bristol Brabazon and Consolidated B-36 were larger than that several years earlier? Brian |

Brian my point is that a airliner can be as big as necessary. the strato launcher might make a excellent sub orbital component, for airline like travel around the world |

Paul Allen's proposed launch system uses an aircraft with a 380' wing span, 6 747 engines, and it needs a 12,000' runway to get air born. Now increase everything by 16. *You won't find a runway wide enough for it, the wing is over a mile long festooned with 48 large jet engines, and it's going to need a lot longer (and more plentiful) gear to keep the payload and the wing off the ground. Yeah, building that can be done by a couple of high school students on a weekend... -- "Ordinarily he is insane. But he has lucid moments when he is *only stupid." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -- Heinrich Heine gee its a given man will never walk on the moon, thats purely impossible.... a runway and support equiptement will be custom built...... |

Maybe there wouldn't be the venom directed at him if he was playing catchup to an outfit like Boeing or ULA in this regard, maybe not. Until he flies people to LEO and brings them home, he's an "amateur hobbyist" as one congressman said when this whole commercial crew concept got going. Other than you, who has been directing venom at Elong Musk or SpaceX? |

Nobody has cut Medicare or Social Security. Perhaps you could quote the part of the article you think supports that claim and tell us just who "they" are? -- "Ordinarily he is insane. But he has lucid moments when he is only stupid." -- Heinrich Heine Fred, "they" exist in the bobbert's head and nowhere else. Like Clueless Cobb over on rec.aviation.military, the bobbert lives in his fantasy world, and when reality intrudes upon it, it's either ignored, casually dismissed, or spun to fit the fantasy of the day. |
