X-33 part 2 on the road post

Here's another idea. Your load in the NTR rocket into the X 33 backwards. That means the NTR nozzle is towards the front of the X 33. You would locate the X 37 C towards the back end of the X 33 to where you have the rudders. This may be a bad idea, but I'm hoping that it would make a more stable ride on top of the 747. When you get to the release point, the two pieces will have to mate with each other in a kind of dance of death. Its a dance of death because the NTR is heating up so that it can be fired for full power. When it is doing this it's increasingly becoming radioactive. You have to be careful to protect any crew.
