    Very clever, very pretty.

    Such a shame we're putting so little effort into space travel, what we do is great and always impressive but we should be going at it hard, it's the only place with the resources and funnily enough, space we need to keep growing at the rate we are and sustain our current lifestyles and improve those of people less fortunate than us.

    Pretty cool. Of course now they just need to test the design against reentry. Good luck to them on their work.

    Yes, hmm, I wonder what the environmental cost is of burning all that aviation fuel?

    If that really bothers you, please remember Avgas is a leaded fuel and feel worse.

    Or, stop being so moody and start placing some value in human achievement, be that mankind's achievements or the achievements of a fellow Hexite. You never know, you might be inspired!
