I guess it's really a dumb question, considering the history of
energia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energia But the thought has croseed my mind: if a deep-pockets entity built a lifter that could put up 200,000 lbs, or greater, might not someone decide, 'hey, we could build a space station to lauch on that thing,' or 'hey, we could use that to send up and assemble moonships or Marsships [or such]?" With the heavy lifter already developed and available at some particular price per lauch, then someone ELSE could concentate on applications: space stations for tourists, interplanetary craft, etc. |
