I looked at this for my spaceplane video. The sled helps *a little* in terms of delta v but the failure scenarios make me nervous.

Nice... like Fireball XL5 launch from Space City ... image from Tech Ops Manual by @GerryAndersonTV @InvincibleChr1s

Do you already have some actual numbers on how you'll get your spaceplaine to orbit without the use of a booster? We all know SSTOs are very hard to achieve

Yesssss!

What will be the sled’s Vmax?

For similar concepts from the past: Hyperion SSTO Alexeyev/Sukhoi Albatros Junkers RT-8 (Saenger I)

The SSTO capability is impressive, but what'll be the deal-maker for this thing? What makes it better for astronaut transport than the Dragon or the Soyuz? Also, what's the plan for the heat shield? Shuttle-style tiles, or Stoke-style metal?

Raptor sound

The engines at take off sound almost exactly like starship lifting off.
