I kept telling my bosses – and anyone else I could get hold of – back in my ATK days that some of the costs of a Shuttle or Ares V launch could be offset by mounting capsules on the noses of the boosters. Big lightweight capsules with big windows, with room for a number of paying customers who want the wildest ride out there. The capsules would separate a split second after RSRM sep from the ET, and would splash down separately.
Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want to go…
