: I think this might be theoretically possible, ignoring the apparently topological outer skin of the "rocket", with some kind of steerable [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_fountain space fountain]. Accelerating the astronauts at 10g for about two minutes might be survivable, and could limit the overall length to just over 800 miles. Though the shroud only has to extend to where the atmosphere is "sufficiently" thin. No idea whether this kind of design would tend to fall over when finished or not. -- [[User:Ken g6|Ken g6]] ([[User talk:Ken g6|talk]]) 04:24, 28 October 2021 (UTC) | : I think this might be theoretically possible, ignoring the apparently topological outer skin of the "rocket", with some kind of steerable [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_fountain space fountain].

If (as it appears) the Bot created the page with various references to "Retract'''i'''ble" rarher than "Retract'''a'''ble", does this mean Randall made that error initially? (I say this as the guy who failed to notice he'd put "re'''su'''able" in his Transcript edit. ;) ) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.162.129|172.70.162.129]] 03:54, 28 October 2021 (UTC) | If (as it appears) the Bot created the page with various references to "Retract'''i'''ble" rarher than "Retract'''a'''ble", does this mean Randall made that error initially?
