Thanks for the input.

I really appreciate it. My idea stems from the fact that many people in the aerospace industry thought enough of the Delta Clipper design to actually build a working prototype. The problem that I saw with it was that it needed to carry twice as much fuel on board than it needed to reach orbit. By using a parafoil to land, think of the weight that could be saved from reducing the fuel load, and the tank size to carry it, by half.

I'm still not sure if my idea could reach orbit, but it would get a lot closer than the Delta Clipper could've.
