wacky notion came to me, thought I'd toss it up for grabs...if you like it just tell folks you found it at TRF
concept; you go to the pad carrying what appears to be an ordinary rocket(made from an oatmeal container perhaps) w/ fins and nose...everything looks like a standard launch, rocket goes up nose separates...and keeps going up under thrust...I can think of a couple of ways of doing this, gap staged w/ bp motors (less than ideal), airstart of the 2nd stage (after a suitable delay using composit motors...
anywho t'was a late nite notion...if someone makes it work...pictures would be nice.
