A Civilian Surface To Orbit Shuttle

I realized that genre of Cutaways is dying, flooded with AI on pinterest and meanwhile I need to train to do cutaways, and I was weaned on children’s encyclopedia .

This shuttle flies from equatorial airports with enough real estate, to afford big runway and needed facilities. The seats for one flight are booked months in advance, most likely with corporate orders to deliver workers on outer planets, though the industry of space tourism is becoming more and more accessible, specifically because of these flights. The flights themself are performed once a months or biweekly, they are planned depending on the demand.

The main advantage is the Aerospike wedge system, a type of propellant release, that preserves it’s relative efficiency across the spectrum of pressures on the way to space, requiring no modular stages. Horizontal takeoff and general trajectory are taken to make the flight possible for general public, exerting passenger with lesser G forces than extreme rocket take-off.

NASA – Scientist of the Day
