Default Re: [Spaceships] Hnd/SR requirement for commercial spacecraft

Indeed they could, but that would involve expense and delay in double-handling, the construction and expenditure of propellant by all those little container-handling vehicles, and a more involved space traffic control task near the up-port…. I'm not feeling strong enough to estimate the costs. there is considerable charm and economy in coming up to a container handling facility and being unloaded directly by a container gantry.
