re: #227 FormerDirtDart

It’s wingspan is said to surpass that of the Hughes H-4 Hercules “Spruce Goose”.
Which, once it achieves it’s first flight, would give it the largest wingspan of any aircraft in history

That is a hell of a lot of extra mass, manpower, and acreage required to do what Space X has already accomplished with remotely recoverable primary stages. Probably saves something by using Aviation Fuel instead of liquid rocket propellant but I can’t help but feel like this thing is obsolescent right out of the box.
