Yeah nobody is really proposing launching them in the atmosphere. I hope lol
And I further agree the thing is a pointless waste. Robots with a few solar panels and RTGs do the job. Sending people into space has been an aerospace scam since the 70s.
Yea, see, I have no faith in them not trying to do exactly that. Any such engine for the next several decades would need to survive at least one flight out of our atmosphere and I do not trust SpaceX with that.

I doubt they will go to the expense of building such a rocket. The racket of 15 launches to replace 1 looks like a more lucaritive swindle.
We need to step back from the SciFi and appreciate the mundane.
Yea, they’d only try if that was the only contract they could get.
