Kind of like a Tic Tac craft? Funny how that happens.

I’m thinking this will cost way, and I mean way more than just $35 million.

“I used to know a girl like that.”

LOL...but I’d wager there are a lot more guys like that.

Ummmm - how can $35 Million make a dent in that project?

Such aircraft will cost many multiples of that...and R&D is way more expensive than eventual product...

Someone’s just found a way to dip into taxpayers’ money...

I can see a cobimination of chemical fueled booster rockets, for the heavy lifting and very small nuclear fueled propulsion units for the very long distance requirements. The nuclear fueled units would be so capable that in the near emptiness of space they could carry the heavier chemical fueled boosters for off planet take-offs and landings.
