I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To try to really land a spacecraft really on another world is really difficult, and if we lose that ability, it's going to be heartbreaking.
