Vertical flight may be superior but it is fucking boring in comparison. With horizontal spacecraft you can fly wherever you want. Sit in the pilot seat, pop a cold one with the boys, and take a look at those incredible methane lakes as you go soaring over another lightning storm.

Or you can sit in ze pod instead. Waiting around for some underfunded engineer to strip more wings off because muh unneeded weight. You aren't even allowed to fucking steer the things half the time

The real fun will arrive when people get off their asses and collect enough coins to finish the SABRE engines and equip all spaceplanes with VTOL landing thrusters so they don't have to build gigantic runways all over the planet
