This concept dates from 1977 and it has been balked at by Congress due to the price tag.

this is a great solution for a problem that shouldn't exist in a first place! what the fuck was wrong with the saturn V !? Look at Russians they are still using R-7 rocket to get soyuz in space, and why? because they know that there is no need to make something new, if the R-7 is perfectly fine.Saturn V could lift much more cargo than shuttle and the shuttle isn't as half as cheap as they originally expected.If nasa hasn't burned all plans for saturn V make it again!

is it confirmed that the old SSME's are going to be used on the new SLS? They aren't building new ones? They did keep the 14 or 16 from the retired shuttles.

Shuttle Side-mount heavy was designed to launch more than 80 metric tons to orbit (180 thousand pounds) and send 30 tons to escape Earth. Falcon Heavy, IF and when it flies will orbit 53 tons & send 12 to Earth escape. Side-mount MUCH larger design, able to upgrade to 90 tons to orbit, which was the Shuttle's mass. Falcon H could get a better upper stage and make up to 57 tons but that's it without redesigning from scratch. Elon Musk wants to build bigger! Write the man checks, now..,

Rockets expend stages and engines - anything else at the moment is sci-fi. And myths: Space is NOT taking food from the hungry or money from Homeland Security. It provides JOBS for thousands and hope for many. And Russia's space program earns money to feed thousands, as does ESA operations in French Guiana - poor folk there wouldn't eat without Ariane rockets launching. And Florida economy now suffering because of the lack of U.S. Astronauts launching for many years to come.

The center fuel tank is destroyed? But my suggestion it will fall to pacific ocean

1. How would the craft remain stable during upward flight? The only surfaces able to control the path of the craft are the engines. 2. The center fuel tank is jettisoned to burn up in the atmosphere - what about the main engines? They'd be destroyed on the way back to Earth. 3. We need to get our shit straightened out on the ground first - financial turmoil, wars, famine...we need to be secure at home before we go off into the great black yonder again.

i thought of that too... but this is only a proposal, they might think of something if it does get comissioned by NASA... maybe a heatshield??

its a bummer that the basic Apollo/ Skylab/ Shuttle concepts are where we still are at... for us older engineers, we were looking at the movie 2001 in the early part of our careers in the early 70"s and thinking: we are gonna see some great stuff.... not
