Very true. My son asked why it doesn’t look like the LEGO space shuttle he just built for his birthday.

The Shuttle was a backwards step. Living up to the Iron Law of Bureaucracy. https://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/nasa-the-iron-law-strikes-again/ … The key here is that this is a commercial launch. This is where we should have gone after Apollo. "The best way to get a payload up would be to contract it" - Pournelle

Long term, we are on the right track privatizing LEO launches. NASA should focus on exploring beyond earth, not creating LEO launch vehicles. We can do that better privately is my wager.

I've done whole videos on this
@Astro_Nicole@JimBridenstine if anyone thinks something like@BoeingSpace@NASA_Orion is Apollo v. 2.0 is mistaken. My only concern@torybruno@Astro_Doug is that it's a big game a cards to fly on@SpaceX-I know these guys. Maybe so probably not. -
THERE's ONE (or two) things I'm really good at and the United States Space Program is one of them.

Capsule would be coming back 1st stage comes back and lands. We just dont keep second stage or interstage. Also we have a faster turn around time now and less costly then the shuttle. Better design and technology.

You should do more research. Reusability was promised by Shuttle but did not really deliver: too long and expensive between flights. Falcon and Dragon are much better. Also, can’t stress enough the commercial aspect is huge. Please stop downplaying advancement!

Space Shuttle was a novelty death trap. We had it figured right in the early days.
