What I'M waiting for is someone to build an SSTO (Single-Stage-To-Orbit) craft. One that won't need a mothership to lift it to altitude. From the runway (or pad) to space, no boosters, everything stays together. Comes back in one piece, can be reused within 24 hours or less.
SS1 is cool, no doubt, but it ain't SSTO.

That would be quite a thing, SSTO, but I don't plan to wait. As soon as I can afford a set of disposable boosters, I'm outta here.
