Do you think there is a launch rate that makes spaceplanes (HTOL) more efficient than a F9/Dragon rocket and capsule? Not sure SpaceX could cycle SLC-39A in less than 24 hours.

Thanks. If you could personally go to orbit every week... would you?

Do you think they'll allow children (eg. over 12) on commercial crew flights relatively soon?

e.g. an astronaut/instructor could take their kid with them for a quick visit to a Commercial Space Station (Can't imagine NASA allowing a kid on the ISS)

Didn't some test pilots (Ron Garan comes to mind) apply as mission specialists, even though they were fully qualified for pilot selection?
