- cbanek 6y agoAs someone who's done both, I agree with the article that basically the rocket isn't big enough. Or my feeling is that the cockpit part is actually too big in relation.

Mid flight power into very high orbit provided by grandads new chairlift. In a serious of unplanned aborts the SRBs proved the most resilient component. Satalite payload went the way of Galileo shortly after lunch.
