> could be solved with easiness, will the capsule that is used for
the launchings possess aerodynamic properties in the first place,
besides possessing ailerons, or something more than it allows him to
have something of control when it is in the air, achieving the
atmosphere so an allied one is instead of an enemy, don't we maybe
have years building supersonic airplanes?, <

NASA is counting on saving a lot of launch costs with SCRAM jets.
They will have to be moving supersonic before the engine will even
work. They have given a 10 year as max to build a mag-lev launch
system to act like a catapult for the SCRAM jet. The scram jet would
of course only be the first stage of the launch vehicle. It should
save a lot of money though. I believe it was supposed to cut costs by
a factor of 10.
