>It's peak late 90's early 2000's spaceflight kino

It really is, it feels like a natural evolution from the shuttle.

I'm fine with that if we revive Venture Star and its shuttle-like aesthetic and utility

>All this despite interest from the Air Force in resurrecting the project, with Lockheed Martin high-flyer Cleon Lacefield in charge of the effort to re-start the program on at least one occasion. Each time the Air Force made requests to take the X-33 project as their own, they found the opportunity denied at the highest level of US government.

>Even when armed with Lacefield’s final comments on the X-33, comments which gave full support to the Al-Li, added to by support from NASA Stennis on the engines, the Air Force – now trying to have their own VentureStar flying by 2012 – found the door of the White House firmly closed shut on any possibility of resurrecting the project.

Politics not engineering, not technology, but petty politics prevented the X-33 from flying
