Does it do anything but suborbital altitude? Hello. Was done in the Mercury and Gemini programs.
"Was done in the Mercury and Gemini programs."
When did they re-launch a Mercury or Gemini cap in two weeks turnaround? Re-launch either AT ALL, for that matter? How about two-week turnarounds for Shuttle? Not a possibility.
For a relative pittance, Rutan is doing this now. Actually, his turnaround was LESS than two weeks.
Mercury was suborbital, Gemini wasn't reusable.
