totally unrelated but is there an opportunity or reason to tow a load to space via cable behind a "rocket tractor-trailer" instead of rockets pushing from behind? Maybe the tractor is a quadcopter or octocopter but rockets instead of electric props. Rocket engines would need to aim their exhaust plumes outward slightly to avoid melting the tow cable, but it would seem like a tow cable could provide some level of suspension (stretch) to the load, reduce structural requirements since materials dont require stiffness in tension. Maybe there is no benefit compared to just pushing the load as is traditional.
