SpaceX's BFR will be much more economical than current rockets, so much so that any other radical idea would not be able to get funding. this was already the fate of one promising project that I know of.

Have you seen the IAC presentation Musk gave? Incredible.

The actual BFR is going to be scaled down, but still more powerful than the Saturn V, and 100% reusable. They are also looking to use it for suborbital commercial passenger flights.
