/sci/ - Science & Math

Speaking of flyback boosters I really like the concept for the Energia, it's like if you did a space shuttle right, 20% plane/80% rocket instead of the other way around. It would be cool to see rockets with stubby little cute wings returning to Earth but with the success of Falcon Heavy and inevitable future improvements to autonomous avionics and flight control I guess we'll just skip that step and go right to 50s scifi rockets landing and taking off on legs.
