I'm not both of those posts. X-33 was a shitshow and demonstrated that Venture Star was impossible, I don't have a personal vendetta against the vehicle I'm just sick of people keeping the faith in old government tech projects just because they got cancelled before they could turn into massive white elephants. Venture Star would have operated exactly like the Shuttle program, in that they were promising the world but reality got in the way. Besides, Venture Star launch economics were optimistically projected to be about as cheap as what Falcon 9 is already getting, so it's not like we missed out on $50 to LEO or anything crazy like that.
