[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Because it seems inefficient and wasteful to have to find a way to hold those massive, massive engines up on those spindly little pylons until the ship is finished, and then make sure the spaceframe isn't damaged by the stresses of hauling all that mass out of the gravity well. Much, much easier to just build the ship (or at least the most massive parts of it) in the microgravity to orbital space. I don't have any problem with [i]components[/i] being built on the surface and then boosted to be assembled in orbit, but not the whole ship -- not as delicate as that design was. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
