Was sci-fi right all along? Are spaceplanes better for leaving the atmosphere than rockets?

>> No.15509016

>>15509009
If those planes have anti-gravity drives, yeah. But we need rockets to deliver big payloads.

just make a reusable crew capsule. Way more economic

No. Not enough thrust to make it to orbit with proper useful mass. And more complex landing and more complex engineering designs, etc.

Obviously they would be if we lived on the globohomo earth model. But since we don't and the earth is actually flat and stationary with a dome, they push these blatant phallic psyops like mock rockets.

We need to build the planes in orbit. Once we have the ability to easily launch material caches into orbit, we can start building in space.

No.

They're better at reentering the atmosphere, not exiting it.

All you have to do is simulate crossing the atmosphere prior to taking off and have a ship keep this rhythm in continued flight. Tards

The earth is flat and stationary with a dome. They can never ever leave this enclosed plane alive so rockets crashed into the ocean it is.

That would be better because we would not need to have as much bulk to lift off of earth
