| Mar 18, 2017 at 2:33 | comment | added | Shalvenay | Is there a reason they don't simply use obscurity as a cover, instead of secrecy? If you are sticking to not-busy airfields (vs. busy ones) and work out all the airworthiness & spaceworthiness issues correctly (shouldn't be hard for a well-designed SSTO), I don't think the FAA would pester them too hard about giving up their actual secrets... | |

Molot: is it necessarily impossible to disguise orbital ascent and descent, at least to the point that nobody connects it with the plane? They want to be able to go back to Earth. | |

| Mar 17, 2017 at 7:24 | comment | added | Mołot | Why to disguise at all? First time you go into space, everyone knows that. No surprise after that. Wouldn't it be cheaper to have a plane and spacecraft as separate items? And just keep spacecraft hidden, ready to launch? | |
