The usual load of goofy comments! It is a very promising concept - a more efficient, and potentially more valuable spacecraft than the Shuttle.

It was a test model; they break. Sometimes those "failures" make the next version even better because you learn from those events.

The design is an efficient-looking lifting body and what all of you miss, this is a small firm that is making progress in a new and exciting direction. A future spacecraft that takes off from the ground and can fly directly into orbit without boosters, separate stages, and more heavy and expensive parts.

And for the goof that said "it looks too light" - yes, you don't know anything at all about aircraft design.

They're easier than thinking and learning ...
