You answered the Rutan SOV payload question??

I guess I’m just too obtuse to understand your higher plain of knowledge and intuitive understand of math and physics. I can’t compete on your advanced understanding of simple questions.

I did ask why not a form of rail gun and/or Mag-lev Propulsion. I don’t believe that there was a response to that question. Perhaps you can show me where my “idiotic” question was answered. With such a gun, you could fire multiple times an hour if you could re-load the SO2. So, come on “nutty professor” show me where you posted the answer to that question.

I tire of playing with you. Have a nice evening.

Which leaves more gifts, Santa Clause or the tooth fairy? Discuss among yourselves as though global warming was something worth being more than minimally at best, concerned about.

Because no one has ever built one of those, and no one plans to build one of those, and none of those is currently funded. And it's not necessary for the job. On the other hand, fast turnaround suborbital vehicles have been demonstrated, of several designs, there are plans to build them, with high flight rates, the plans are funded, and the vehicles are under construction.

What more do you need to know?

Yes, there was. The answer is that, unlike suborbital vehicles, no one is working on them, or funding them. I also answered the payload question, unless you're unable to multiply two numbers together. If that's the case, I'll do it for you (six passengers plus two crew at 200 lbs each, average, is sixteen hundred pounds), but I'm not sure why you want to flaunt both your lack of knowledge and lack of ability to do simple arithmetic.
