sorry, I don't think ANY airplane can go "straight up" for ever, there are just
too many stress factors to control, not to mention the fact that for a pilot
to handle/survive going straight up at mach 2+ for an extended amount of time 
he would have to be able to withstand a very high G count.....some stunts done 
by the blue angels, and other flight teams, can't be done by most pilots, not
only due to the skill needed, but because of the problem of some blacking out
due to the G's....

maybe we should just get a space shuttle simulator, that can go straight up..
and then you can have some fun with fixing satelites and stuff.....   :-)
