Scientific paper

It is presently conjectured that the development of true aerospaceplanes will lower the costs of missions to LEO to the point where much more intensive observational campaigns for earth and the rest of the solar system, on the one hand, and such industrial operations as the mining of He-3 on the lunar surface, will become realistic undertakings. Lunar mining is presently conceived as based on a VTOL SSTO launch vehicle that can avail itself of lunar liquefied oxygen supplies.
