SSTO's are OP

Erm, SSTOs, not SSTO's.

"SSTO's" = Belonging to SSTO

"SSTOs" = Plural of SSTO.

Always put an apostrophe before an "s" when referring to a plural form of an acronym.

Not what I learned.

RULES: 

 

4. Be completely safe with redundant landing and abort systems

 

I still have to see even one entry that fulfills this ridiculous entry rule, none of the above entries do.

Note : Be completely safe with redundant landing and abort systems.

This means you need *at least* two separate, independent launch abort systems, and at least two separate independent landing systems, that are capable of functioning safely even if the primary abort or landing system fails.

.

To see if your vehicle is "completely safe", try this simple experiment. At 30 seconds after launch, switch the engine off.

Can you safely land your passengers without switching the engines back on?

If the answer is no, you have violated rule#4.

Landed them safely? Ok, great!

Now launch again, and switch off the engines at 30 seconds again.

You may NOT use the same method for saving the crew. (*redundant* abort systems, remember?)

Now land them safely, again.

 

*redundant* abort and landing systems are very, very, very, very hard to do.

I'm going to remove this rule (the redundant bit) so that current entrants don't have to redo their entry
