That was a beautiful launch. The US is really good at producing robotic space vehicles and video games. Manned flight hardware... not so good. If only our engineers could design a light weight durable composite material for a space plane fuel tank that won’t collapse under load. Then we wouldn’t have to break out the old apollo command module drawings for our next generation manned spacecraft.
