It may be that they have not yet developed a dependable nose cone or solved the re-entry problem (the U.S. Army's Jupiter nose cone was recovered intact, earlier this year, after a 1,600-mile shoot).

The reaction will push the nose downward. Similar jets in the wingtips will keep the wings level or make the ship bank or roll...
