Talk:Technological Achievement Tiers: Difference between revisions

I'm a bit confused. If someone could clarify this for me that would be much appreciated. I noticed that Tier 5 says "In-atmosphere craft are a hallmark, often leading to manned space flight, albeit in a short-scale". What does "...often leading to manned space flight, albeit in a short-scale" mean? Wouldn't this be a Tier 4 attribute? Or is that something that leads to T4?--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:50, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

:The statement "...often leading to manned space flight, albeit in a short-scale" I think means that having in-atmosphere craft eventually leads to having short scale spacecraft, which is a Tier 4 trait. We had airplanes and airships before we started launching manned and un-manned spacecraft. When we started putting satellites and men into space would be when we entered Tier 4, the Space Age. Hope that answers it. :P--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 13:16, 22 August 2013 (EDT)
