ROCKET SCIENTISTS claim that a true single stage to orbit
vehicle(SSTO)is too difficult -- or impossible -- to build.  They give
reasons for this.  But they are wrong.

THEY SAY:  Rockets gobble too much fuel.  The amount needed to reach
orbit or escape velocity is beyond our technology.

These engineers/scientists believe that a rocket must have a continuous
burn lasting the length of the trip -- wrong.  4 minutes of fuel is all
a 2:1 thrust to weight spaceplane would need.

and how much fuel is needed for a usable payload?
nasa is breaking their heads over this,and now you are claiming to be a
better rocket engineer?
don't make me laugh!
4 min of thrust.....want to use a sam to carry 5tons of payload into space?
the delta clipper was an effort to have only 1 stage,failed because the tank
ruptured.
and was to heavy anyway

oh yes!!
you are much brighter than nasa and the russians !
