Why doesn’t NASA simply offer prizes for this breakthrough, via:

? Monopolies don’t like competition; that’s why.

Since the early 1990s, I have been stating that I thought the development of a heavy load space plane was so important that we should launch a Manhattan Project level operation to accomplish the design and development.
Fly it off the ground. Fly it into space. Return to the same or another landing strip for another flight within hours.
The crickets have been continually delivering my only response to date, and are still rubbing their hind legs at the prospect.
GO Crickets, some of the few people ‘in the know’ who still communicate with me. ;^)

There must be some sort of financial incentive.Its very expensive to build some of these planes. Have a $10 million dollar prize and a contract from NASA
To: ErnstStavroBlofeld
For decades I have thought that the heavy lifting should be done by unmanned rockets and the astronauts taken up in much smaller spacecraft.

I like the idea it could return to the U. S. from any orbit location. That’s an interesting aspect.

Sanger's plane was launched on a track.You also can launch from a plane.
To: ErnstStavroBlofeld
That was just one design. There was another one that could use a runway.
