Could this be a model for the United States?
The United States is going to need a heavy lift launch vehicle if we
are going to undertake ambitious manned missions to the moon and beyond. I have long believed, as many do, that we should commit to developing a launch system that is fully reusable and will lower both the cost and risk associated with spaceflight. To me, putting an Apollo-style capsule on top of a Delta IV or Atlas V doesn't seem like much of a vision for the future. I just came across this, and it is exactly the type of launch system I would love to see the United States develop. What are your opinions on the merits (and drawbacks) of such a design? http://www.k26.com/buran/Info/Energi...k_booster.html |
