...I don't think the issue is whether it would work or not; gravity will win and when it does the question becomes who has a space-port with provision for helicopter landings... very very fast ones... it's not in the FAA commercial space-port regulations I can tell you now!

...and when it gets ramp checked, will the pilots be suitably qualified? will it have a daily signed for by a suitably qualified extra-atmosphere A&C type rated engineer... I think not!

I think Um... lifting... had it right, the lawyers would stop it!
