News Elon Musk wants to put millions of people on Mars.

Can't we get a thread in physics for all those posts in Spaceflight News which first sentence contains the phrase "can serve as a reusable SSTO"?

BTW: If I just put more amps into it, my USB 3.0 water boiler could also serve as reusable SSTO....

SpaceX BFR tanker as an SSTO.

I was sooo much expecting that ! So much, you can't figure ! :rofl: :rofl:

Please, do that !! By sealing it, fitting a nozzle and plug a long enough power chord, that would be epic ! :rofl:

"Sir, we have an unidentified object flying Mach 15 through our airspace !" "Prepare nuclear retaliation protocol !" "Uhh wait... Satellite reports it's a huuuh... boiler !" :rofl:

I suspect it might end bad like this....

I moved the BFR stages as SSTO post to its own thread on the Math & Physics subforum:

SpaceX BFR stages as SSTO's.

Included is a link to another discussion of a quarter-scale BFR tanker being able to serve as an SSTO launcher of the Dragon 2 to orbit.
