Description There is something to be said for using things that are SMALL. In contrast to the oversized NASA Space Shuttle that is so large (size of a MD-80/DC-9 airliner) because as a bureaucratic cash cow $ carries 7 astronauts and 50, 000 of payload that we have no booster to get it into space, a small 1-2 man dynasoar aerospace plane could be placed ON TOP of existing rocket boosters so its not going to get damaged by ice chunks and debris during boost phase, and even if its on a Titan ICBM (sans warhead) and something goes wrong early, it can separate and glide to a safe landing—it has an escape capability. Escape from the pad at zero speed is possible if the dynasoar has a small rocket engine to blast it away from the misbehaving booster. As you can see in this video, the Titan/dynasoar would get into space on just 2 stages; theoretically the first stage could be fittedwith parachutes and inflatable floats for re-use as only the second stage gets thrown away and burns up in a sub-orbital arc as the X-20 continues into space. KISS principle at work here. In the 1970 Hollywood movie, Marooned, an Apollo moon shot space capsule is damaged in earth orbit and the X-20is sent up in a hurry to rescue the hapless NASA astronauts. The idea for the dynasoar of course comes from the Germans; Dr. Sanger proposed a reusable aerospace glider that would get the first stage of its lift by a MOTHER AIRPLANE—not try to blast-off from zero-to-hero, von Braun-style with rockets. He was right all...
