The craft just did, a tiny bit. The project is unsure in my guess. I personally would prefer a hotol, horizontal takeoff and landing, system to give me a tourist peek outside atmosphere to the black-sky/lit-Earth realm. I would need somebody to pay my ticket too.

Awesome slogan for an awesome project! Plod Ferociously.

Awesome slogan for an awesome project!

The difference between "patient" and "ferox" is about as big as it gets. Anyway, hopefully this is perfectly legit: I don't know aerospace, and am inclined to cheer each and every person whose dream is to let me check out my skills as a gymnast and historian in outer space. Golevka or bust! Russell, “ferociter” does *not* mean “patiently.” The difference between “patient” and “ferox” is about as big as it gets.

Oh... and it's "patiently and step-by-step " What a lotta bullshit!

Oh… and it’s “patiently and step-by-step “

(The cost is the hardware.) They've explored a lot of 'rocket engineering phase space' under those constraints. Pretty damn good, IMHO By contrast, Blue Origin has lots of full time employees.

Also the building it is going into, looks like the staging area at Kennedy Space Center. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nothing to be done. Wasn’t Goddard that guy that Estragon and Vladimir were waiting for? Nothing to be done.
