uh...no...NEVER

With ever increasing requirements for triple redundancy & proof testing for every component and sub-system, there will never be a constituency large enough to justify the expense.

Too many departments of CYA to ever make this affordable or justifiable.

Marginal breakthroughs in one or a few technologies will never overcome the laundry list of unacceptable risks.

This is because risk averse people are in charge. Yet the history is that real risks slip by (possibly because everyone is too focused on CYA?)

The NASA of 2016 probably could not put one soldier onto a real battlefield.

Same thing with flying. It'll never happen.
