Time to Think ‘Horizontal’ for Future Space Launches
"Is firing a rocket from the ground straight up
into space the right way to do things? It sure was in the 1950s and ‘60s and it persists today. But it’s still expensive, fraught with technical risk and dwindling into obsolescence. There could be an alternative on the horizon, however, that incorporates the concepts of railguns, scram jets and kinetic launching into an innovative, reusable space launch system for unmanned cargo."
