Message-ID: <392@watdragon.UUCP> Date: Mon, 17-Feb-86 12:23:57 EST Article-I.D.: watdrago.392 Posted: Mon Feb 17 12:23:57 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 18-Feb-86 03:39:13 EST Distribution: net Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 7 I recently read about the plans for a british "spaceplane" called HOTOL. Do the U.S. and/or U.S.S.R. have similar plans for a "spaceplane". Also, doesn't it make more sense to not build another shuttle, but instead design and build a spaceplane which would (seem to) be a lot safer.
