Whoo! I just noticed the Mach 25 top speed in space.

 

That's the speed needed to reach escape velocity so the vehicle can achieve orbit. Which is the whole point of the project, so it can launch satellites, rendezvous with the ISS or whatever - and make money

Where's the dang Space Hotel?- Rusty Griswald driving a space plane heading into a wormhole (The Next National Lampoon Vacation in "Space Vacation" )

 

Outside the joke, I thought they Russians were building a Space Hotel

 

 

Maybe its the infertility disclaimer at the bottom of the news story that scared people away (Got to love X-Rays and Gamma Rays, it's everywhere)
