Gebuz Zack. I thought we were over this already. Let the American neighbours continue to use the commie rockets while us Canuck's build one using maple syrup as fuel. It's all serviced by Bombardier and kinda looks like a retro Avro Arrow slapped onto a candle stick.
Every rocket launch has free pancakes and breakfast sausages with alder-smoked Canadian bacon at the launch viewing pad.

If the vehicle breaks up it is easier to get out of.

All you guys are awesome. Reading this thread is better than watching a TV sit-com.

We gave them all our uranium mines, and in return, they let us have rides on their rockets.

The space shuttles btw did not have an escape system (a way to separate the crew from the rest of the vehicle.).
By your definition, somewhat true. They did have a way to abort the Shuttle from the boosters and a way for the astronauts to bail out of the Shuttle.

It was not possible to abort the launch while the boosters where burning. And any successful abortion after take off required that the shuttle was maneuverable.

:old: Earth, like everything has gravity. Which means that the if you gets heavier you also become more attractive.

A nice illustration of the gravity wells in the solar system. It takes the same amount of energy to go into a gravity well as it takes to get up from it. (very simplified) but thats why its so hard to go to Mercury, ESA is launching its space probe BepiColombo in 4 days and it will arrive to Mercury in 2025..
