ShuttleLiner Galileo

A late-21st Century, third generation Space Shuttle. This vehicle was designed to be part Space Shuttle, part X-33 and part 747. I assumed we would need something like this if we were going to build and populate Island One. (Note: I designed this before I realized the inherent flaws in the "heat-shield tiles" concept, and before I lost all hope that NASA would actually accomplish anything ever again.)
