Just perusing the NASA website while bored. It struck me that space rockets are just big tubes full of explosives in fact no material improvement over 2,000 year old Chinese fireworks.
Surely we can do better.
Personally, I'd go with ground laser powered plasma jets, possibly combined with scramjets.
And furthermore, just how much CO2 do these rockets actually produce? Is each rocket launch responsible for the future deaths of billions of cuddly polar bears? I suspect it is. Can someone from the Guardian or similar please quote me on this? I am a scientist after all (B.Sc.)
