I just got done reading that link you provided (thanks, that sure was an eye opener!)

Is it possible to have an F-16-sized SSTO plane? I'm looking at an F-16 and wonder where the heck are they going to stuff the JP-5 and peroxide needed to achieve escape velocity into an airframe that size, considering that an F-16 empties its internal JP5 stores in less than 10 minutes at Zone-5 AB in the clean configuration, nevermind cat-3 when loaded down with external stores with all that extra drag.. :-P

Science or Fantasy?

- Sounds like NASA's still stuck in the same rut. - Lee - 1/28/2002 5:20:46 PM
