NASA, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics better get off their butts and build us something that has excellent payload and also can be reused.
Because right now it looks like the Chinese are going to trump us on space exploration, number one.
Number two, all current 'orbital space plane' plans are unworkable and do not offer the capabilities we need.
Number three, there's too much apathy in the industry, way too much waste and pure lunacy going on.

China remains a nation run by and for its military. It will never truely move towards Democracy until it's generals are demoted from warlords to civil servants who defend a constitution rather than a party.

There is a very good chance, IMHO, that the American manned program will be outsourced to Russia and China and any other low bidders.
