In my opinion, planned cessation of production of RD0110 in Russia - a good reason for license purchase.

I agree, but would Russia allow and agree to license purchase of RD-0110 engine and would their be issues raised regarding ITAR.
You really should get L2. There's some amazing info directly from senior officials from OSC regarding the Stratolauncher and how it could help the Antares.
How about adding a third nk 33 on the first stage and a reusable upper stage with an inflatable heat shield.What shut down Kistler was lack of money not technical problems.
I am not talking about a fast modification a slow evolution one step at a time . I honestly thing orbital have scored an ace with that rocket .See how slow it rose off the pad nice smooth launch with low G,s .
Well within human tolerances .No shaky solids this launcher should find plenty of work .All that is needed is to replace the Caster with a liquid stage to man rate it .As I said they have scored an ace
I am sure the max G's were over 5

In my opinion, such change in a design of the rocket won't pay off because of high expenses and low rate of starts.Let's ask about it doctor Antonio Elias
