What I’m saying is you can bring a ton of space shuttle and a few rock down that way. Can you bring 100 tons down in a glider?

The shuttle weighs 165,000 lbs and can carry another 65,000 in payload. Its 30 year old government tech. I trust private industry to come up with something that far exceeds the shuttle abilities.
