Hello!

We all know that the Arrow freighter is not capable of landing on the surface of earth (in real life)

But, is it possible (in real life) that the Arrow can launch to LEO and survive it? As far as I know you don't need heat protecting tiles or something.

Thanks (in advance ;))

With a new plasma-nuclear reactor (or something like that :badsmile: ), you could be able. But, it would be a pure waste of resources. With a multistage rocket or something, you could save a lot of propellant.
