I can’t see this thing ever being able to launch anything with a significant payload. Not only are humans delicate but a lot of the crap that we launch into space is pretty delicate, too. I just don’t think the numbers will work.

Not only that, but we have 60+ years of success doing it the old-fashioned way, why change?

I hear "because we've always done it that way." is always the best reason to eschew change.

Yes, the forum is broken again.

All new posts in existing threads should work. New threads also work, but since the main page does not update, no one can see them. There are at least a couple of threads like the one that I linked above that have been posted. If you create a new thread and save the link, then you can continue to see the thread, and if you post it to some other thread, then other folks can see and respond.

I saw where they mention the issue, but not how they solved it. Maybe I am dense.
