Heh, yeah they should have kept trying to get the Delta clipper to work. But they notably ended development of the program...

Nobody thought it was impossible

Everyone thought it was infeasible, especially after the Delta clipper proved unproductive. After that, nobody even tried because it would just be an endless money pit there certainly wants any active development in that area I know of when SpaceX started.

Elmo fanboy detected.

I explicitly said the opposite. I'll admit to being extremely impressed with what SpaceX has accomplished, but don't confuse that with musk worship, the man needs to just stop doing... anything.
