What If We Made Space Travel Practical - Stimulating Our Economy with New Technology

REDUCING THE COST OF SPACE TRAVEL BY 95%. When the U.S. entered the space race 50 plus years ago, it was deeply rooted in the Cold War. The exploration of space was subterfuge. Deterring Russia, at any cost, was the true goal. Decisions made in the 60's did not consider economic feasibility-the result was that the U.S. was taken down a costly path that still hinders progress in space technology. With the cancellation of the Space Shuttle program and NASA's embrace of private space enterprises, a new space age era has arrived! Visionary space entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk of SpaceX, Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos of Blue Origin have created businesses to embrace and explore the dawn of commercial space travel. What if we look beyond these entrepreneurs' current endeavors? What's next? What If We Made Space Travel Practical? proposes revolutionary spacecraft designs that would herald a new era of commercial space travel success. These concepts allow us to rethink space travel and it's costs. USING ROCKETS TO TRAVEL INTO SPACE IS RIDICULOUS! Rockets are expensive overkill in the lower atmosphere. Rockets are high-tech, high-speed crafts best used in the vacuum of space. What if we only use rockets when they are practical instead of during the entire flight? Wings serve no purpose in the vacuum of space. Wings add significant weight and drag during the ascent into space. Winged reentry and recover is dangerous and expensive. What if no longer use winged spacecraft? What if we simplify spacecraft reentry, recovery and reuse? Modern technology can make this process safer and more economical. Let's look at what's next ... beyond what SpaceX and Virgin Galactic are doing. What if space travel became radically cheaper? What If We Made Space Travel Practical? will intrigue and inspire you as you learn about the Star Horse Project, a concept that could propel the U.S. economy into the stratosphere.
