NASA and the Big Rocket

[bogeyman]

Yep NASA again is building a rocket a big rocket 321 feet tall almost as big as the Saturn V rocket which too the Apollo missions to the Moon. Yet it begs the question why in the hell are they still using liquid fuels, which were around in the 1950s/60s as with the Saturn V? There are better methods and systems available, what a waste of tax payers money and resources.

God knows how much this piece of antiquated piece of technology is costing, it is ridiculous

The rocket fuel costs $40m alone...
The construction, building materials, let's better stop speaking.

Look at the footage from what is deemed Area 51 and ask yourself what propulsion systems are used to perform such aerial manoeuvres in silence?
