I remember reading about a booster idea that was supposed to be ultra cheap and very safe. It was a vertical booster with 8 to 12 F15 Jet Fighter engines in a circle around a small solid or liquid center stage. The F15 engines can be optimized to operate to 60,000 Feet where it approaches mach 2 or 1500 mph, the rocket booster then fires and gets the payload up to around 4,000 mph or faster at 150,000 feet and drops off. A drouge chute then opens and reorients craft so that the engines which are off act as air brakes., at 40,000 feet 4 f15 engines fire up and reorient craft to allow for a STOL LANDING...
Any ideas or someone who would be into that sort of design? In reality I think its an ingenious idea, and could be a cheap and easy small payload booster..
