king of nowhere 534 Posted Saturday at 05:55 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:55 PM the way it is worded, it would mean that i can make an ssto, then once in orbit ditch stages. which would be easy, it's just a matter of an ssto with an eeloo rocket as payload. then again, the other interpretation - no stages whatsoever - would be exceedingly difficult, as it would require some 8000 m/s in a single stage. though most of it can be provided by ions, so it should be feasible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
