ESA and Kliper

[Stargazer]

Seems like ESA is interested in participating in the Kliper programme - at least in the initial phase. I hope that after these two years, ESA will decide to commit itself to development of the Kliper.

Well that is no news. I just hope that someone will come up with an idea to build SSTO as international project.

 

So we`ll have in a few years a Soljuz launching from French Guajana and on top of it 6 astronauts(turists maybe?) in a Kliper capsule. What is better than combining reliability with safety and comfort.
