Space Boosterism

....Rocket boosters to be precise...

Via RLV News, I happened upon this page by Orion Propulsion regards their proposed reuseable booster.





Wow! Its a Transformer!

Actually, it looks a bit like some of the early proposals by Vaun Braun and company from the early '50s for reuseable first stages. Schweet!

And while we are on the subject of boosters here and here are two diametrically opposed views of the merits of heavy lift rockets for the Space Program.
