SSTO only makes sense if you have a lot of traffic going to/from equatorial LEO (which in fact there should, and probably ultimately will be). But yes, a reusable upper stage for the Falcon 9 would be quite useful.

What are yall thinking about this one? Would love to hear from my fellow former Xcorians.

Is the world craving an SSTO? Could one design a reusable upper stage for a falcon?

Will reusable heat shields ever work?
