The Holy Roman Empire of launch vehicles
Space plane cancellation made official
It wasn't a plane, it couldn't get to space on its own, and like the Holy Roman Empire it is now officially extinct. An awful lot of work is now down the drain, but it was time to cut their losses, I guess.
They're moving onto the Crew Exploration Vehicle, and there's a good chance that the design work will be done in Huntsville again. I can't wait to see what's wrong with this one.
