How many billionaires does it seat? They're not going to the Titanic, maybe this will work.

Too bad they couldn't get the same designer as that sub. Pretty sure they could make headway on cleaning up human rights abuses if they could.

The designers of the sub were all aerospace engineers so they may do a better job on a space plane

I think it’s only fair to let sub designers build the spaceplane then.

We'll have to wait for the next model, this one is strictly unmanned cargo transport.
