Which plane? I don't remember them making rocket planes to fly to space.

@Fizz No but they made a rocket plane. Fighter.

Heh, it was barely a plane though - basically wings on a rocket, very little fly time & wasn't landing it so problematic that more often than not it crashed or the pilot bailed?

@TagMeInSkipIGotThis Sure, but 80 years ago… How much did it take from Orwille brothers to Sputnik? 40-50 years?

Things plateau as the "cost to result" ratio becomes more and more unfavorable.

I don't see what you're trying to say.
