TAO has mentioned landing gear and we have seen physical evidence that their segmented test ships have something mounted under the engine. In test videos, there is someone catching it upon landing, though. I don't see how someone would want to catch the STS-4XX or even the STS-230. I wonder if the 5 segmented ship in the video is the 230 as it is hard to tell the size without a physical object next to it.
I find it interesting that the old S2A/Skysat has a theoretical ceiling in the 40k range which is higher than any any segmented version other than the big boy Strat.
The S2 is on US soil and has been partially funded by GTC whereas the STS111 is being additionally funded by our insiders. Is the S2 further along than STS-111 to make an outside firm pony up that kind of dough?
The slides are downloadable from each presentation which was a nice touch.
