Wow, great discussion!. May I ask a dumb layman question?, seeing the huge flame that rockets produce (obviously), It wouldn´t make sense to create a kind of statoreactor at the lower part of the rocket to take advantage of all that heat?.Like a kind of after burner, that way it would be possible to use even an greater mass of air to increase thrust (at least for the limited time that the rocket is still in the atmosphere, then drop the "ring" as another stage).
