      @RocketAcademy Right. XS-1 contractors have been sketching for months. Northrup has cute model. Ergo space transport revolution.

      @kchangnyt Hardware doesn't materialize overnight. Do you think Orion was built in six months?

      @kchangnyt The Bush Vision of Space Exploration was announced in 2004. Complaining that DARPA hasn't build a Spaceplane in 6 mo seems odd.

      @RocketAcademy I'm not complaining about DARPA. I'm saying it's silly to extrapolate from incomplete paper study to revolution as done deal.

      @kchangnyt Yet, you extrapolate from a suborbital launch of a Sesame Street toy and a rubber duck to NASA astronauts on Mars?

      @kchangnyt If you think NASA is closer to Mars than DARPA to a suborbital spaceplane, you don't understand the magnitude of the problem.

      @RocketAcademy If comparison is silly, why make it? Different problem, different vehicles, different costs.

      @kchangnyt So, tell us why you think Orion is a problem worth working on. Why spend tens of billions to make space travel more expensive?

      @RocketAcademy Not sure why capsules bad. SpaceX likes them. Dragon is also retro-Apollo. What's the cheap alternative for BEO?

      @kchangnyt There is no cheap alternative beyond Earth orbit until we cheap launch to Earth orbit. Crawl before you run.

      @RocketAcademy XS-1 avoids the scramjet issue by not getting to orbit. Shut down astronauts for a couple of decades?

          @kchangnyt Not sure why you connect scramjets with getting to orbit. Every payload in orbit was put there by a rocket, not a scramjet.

          @kchangnyt And not everything needs to get into orbit to be useful.

          @kchangnyt XS-1 is a cheap first stage to orbit. There is no claim of SSTO, AFAIK. @RocketAcademy
