    @Doglover232YT We will build a lot of CTS prototypes, performing low&hight altitude flight tests.

    @CardAerospace @EffIcentRocketEngineering Cylero Transport System, we call it CTS for short.

    Are you actually reusing tank relaunching the boosters?

    @iSpace WenCTSHop? What type of flight will you do with prototypes for CTS? Will there be a “Starhopper” like prototype or maybe a SN5/6 150 meter hop prototype? Suborbital flights to 10-50Km? And will boosters do a similar development path to the ship? Doing small hops then higher hops.

    @iSpace if not , then can you make only the boost burn of my craft?

    @IllaIoSpace Infinite 8, it's retired. Our next generation heavy-lift launch vehicles are Beta Heavy & CTS

    What is the most payload rocket you have or vill son bee and now much it can lift into a GTO?

    @KuiperAerospace I wish I could suggest tinkering, but as you know I am not a fan of it. What I suggest put an inlet that covers engines (or anything else going beyond the range of normal legs) and then just translating the legs downwards toward the bottom of inlet. It is simple but still looks good.

    @ispace how many days or hours you taken to automate this craft?

    @TweedleAerospace ah that must be it. I’m in a predicament where landing legs are just to small for my rockets, and custom ones just can’t hold the vehicle upright.

    @KuiperAerospace their craft is very small and light. Very capable considering its size and weight.

    Great mission! Congrats iSpace team! I have a question for you though. How do you get your landing legs to stay in place?
