Inspired by Scott Manley's reuseable space program?

[boolybooly]

Actually Will The K Prize was inspired by a social meeting with Alistair D Scott, president elect of The British Interplanetary Society and chair of their media group. We had been discussing Kerbal Space Program as Alistair said some of the members of the BIS had been expressing enthusiasm for its educational potential and fun factor, and we also chatted about the future of space planes like Hotol, Skylon and Sabre engine development. It was very exciting to think that Sabre tests were progressing, that gave me impetus to continue the K-Prize through thick and thin.

At the start my first thought on the new improved aero version of KSP back in May 2012 was spaceplanes! I waited a few days for someone else to do it as I had already done the Solar Explorer challenge and thought I should let someone else have a go, but noone did so I started it.

Scott (Manley aka Illectro) has visited the K Prize at least once (we may have lost another one of his in the great server crash) and kindly contributed one of his interesting and well thought out videos to watch and his

seems inspired by the same principles of economy and efficiency which inspired the shuttle and HOTOL and Skylon development, as well as the K-Prize.

I hope reusability will become worthwhile in KSP gameplay when the economic sim begins to take shape because its an entertaining challenge to make reusable craft IMHO and an important principle in the future of real space exploration.

Same way you add images. And wow, this thread is over three years old, dude!
