Radian SSTO Spaceplane

[edwest4]

Why not use the original Saenger Antipodal Bomber launch method? A 1.4 kilometer monorail with a 5 degree elevation toward the end. Place spaceplane on it, with two V-2 rocket engines right behind it. They provide the initial boost and you can then land the spaceplane where you'd like.

Something like that —-SuperHeavy would give a far better boost than a sled. Booster VTOVL, spaceplane lands horizontally.

Same nonsense infects every thread
