That's convincing! We need to get a power source that will power the
thing. Counting the power source & transformers into the payload
capacity is the chalenge.I have some power plant power to weight data.
I'll see what the calculations yeald.
To get into space with a lifter it may not be necessary to have an onboard
power supply. One could transmit the power to the lifter using microwaves
or lasers from ground based power supplies.

That would work but is still quite massive the nasa plane that was
powered like that had several dozen kg of stuff to do the reception and
power control. It might work wit a lifter.
