18-01-2004, 14:31
The USSY have begun development of a small one manned space craft. The craft is very strangely shaped and looks like something from the 1970s. The craft will be taken up to a high altitude by B-2 stealth bombers where it will be dropped, the craft will climb up into space useing rocket boosters.

The project is estimated to cost 100, Million, which is relatively cheap, this space programme is not high tech and its purpose is to merely place a man with a satelite up into space.

Why use a B-2? B-52 are cheaper, can carry larger craft, heck, most of the time NASA will launch them off B-52s.

becuse some guy donated him a B-2. But i agree, a B52 would be more effective. that or use a AN-225 or something.
