Out in Mojave a bunch of guys got together and made Spaceshipone. It was launched from a plane, when 100 miles up, came down, and did it again a week later. It was cheap, reusable, and surprisingly low tech. Now the idea for such a ship was around since the 1930's, with various German rocket engineers thinking along such lines. Now thinking how Vostok 1 went 203 miles into space it is not that big of a stretch (on paper) for the spaceshipone design to do the same.

WI some NASA or Cosmonaut engineer came up with such an idea for space travel?
