if you compared the saturn rocket's size & mass to a rifter's size and mass you would understand why.

also a saturn rocket doesnt go very far before it runs out of fuel.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

The saturn V is about twice as long as a rifter, but a lot skinnier.

It's because the magic pixie dust that we use to fly across the stars without ever having to refuel can only propel our space boats so fast. Any faster and weird space time **** happens and the Doctor shows up to talk about how much he loves bow ties.
