Abstract:

I know how to get the U.S. permanently into space. Write me a check for a billion dollars, give me a letter of credit for a second billion I probably won't have to spend, and get out of the way. I'll take the money and vanish into the Mojave desert, China Lake for preference, Edwards Air Force Base if 1 must; and in about four years I'll have a Single Stage to Orbit savable as well as recoverable and reusable spacecraft capable of putting about ten thousand pounds into orbit at costs of about five times the cost of the fuel the flight takes. Call it Space Ship Experimental, or SSX for short.
