I don't like the solid rocket escape motor being placed in the center of the
passenger cabin. From discussion on other forums I understand this is a
center of gravity issue. They need the heavy mass of the solid rocket motor
to be placed forward for stability reasons.
Still, I get a very visceral negative reaction to this arrangement. Anyone
else get that reaction?

In a video animation from 2015, they show handholds on the solid rocket
motor -
while floating though be careful to mind your head!

Finally, nanotechnology can now fulfill its potential to revolutionize
21st-century technology, from the space elevator, to private, orbital
launchers, to 'flying cars'.
This crowdfunding campaign is to prove it:
