Space Shuttle weighed 2 060 000 kg almost as much as Apollo did. I am proposing a craft that is fully reusable that weighs just 21 metric tons…around 100 x less. I has an effect on the fares too. I figure 260 000 euros per ticket to ISS ( fuel is just 8000 euros per person ).
I am inclined to assume even James Bond ( 007 ) might like this ??
More tweaking. No the cost to put men on the orbit is just 120 000 Euros per person. The plane + rocket will bring also satellites to orbit with les than a 3 million.
T-Bird can take off like an aeroplane now…as it has more wing area and less mass.
Afore mentioned set up could serve the Mothership on orbit…which could be made into a space lab ( LH2/LOX tank refurbished with B-29 type “wind screen ” ).
Here are my landing strips on the Mars on Holden Crater. These could be checked with the faster ships klander and 2 electric cars and then flagged for the big mothership for landing. Each are 20 km long.
