Hi guys<br /><br />I have a question about suborbital flight; with the assumption that tourist flights will catch on within the next few years and that customers will request longer and longer space experiences. <br /><br />Obviously one of the reasons that suborbital is easier than orbital is that no re-entry heating is involved - but can suborbital flight duration be increased by flying further out into space and reserving some fuel for an engine re-start during descent to slow atmosphere re-entry speed, minimising resultant heating? Is that feasible?
