DC-X may be dead, but his spirit lives on among us.

When I was a kid, I got into spaceflight from seeing cool spaceflight stuff happen. I don't get into it from watching some middle school band play. All of the outreach in the world is pointless if there is nothing physical to show for it.

Follow the COTS spirit of the DC-X and make one from commonly available mods.

To be fair, the computing power needed to do retropropulsive landings weren't small enough nor cheap enough to be viable until recently.

The DC-X is among the most aesthetic rockets ever. Change my mind.

>What jobs do yall have?
None so far. Recent graduate and hampered by lack of experience and corona. Got a phone interview with SpaceX coming up though.

>Are you in the industry itself or just passionate about space?
Initially, a little of both. I became an aerospace engineer because of my interest in spaceflight, but I was anticipating not getting a job in the aerospace sector so I tried to focus on more general and balanced engineering training. That later changed and it's all for the passion now.

The DC-X had no chance of being an SSTO, but it did fly so good. Shame NASA was so disinterested in it.

Which is sad, because the Delta Clipper did it in 1993.
