how easy is it to build successful rockets? My impression was the weight to payload ratio made rockets unsatisfactory, as well as the one shot utility of many of them?
And on the other hand we have rockets which have worked for decades, are
easy to build and do not require optimisation of the rest of the vehicle in
order to merely function - let alone produce useful thrust. By all means
lets throw away the old and proven for the new and experimental.
