I must be missing how “great” this is suppose to be - I don’t see any difference between this launch and any other except the shuttle was not attached.
The video notes total “new rocket concepts” but it looks like launches from the 1960’s

Have to agree with you. A really big solid fuel bottle rocket built using extra sections from space shuttle boosters is what I saw.
As for the design of the thig, what self respecting Space Voyager would want to ride a super sized condom? Maybe it appealed to Obams?

The rocket can carry almost twice the weight of previosu rockets.. Almost 72 tons to be exact.
