Anyone know if we have plans to build a non-atari powered shuttle in the near future? I know of the mission to the moon/mars and a space worthy C130 is certainly in order if we are to populate the moon.
It appears there will be two derivative vehicles based on Space Shuttle tech to a degree, but both would be far more robust than the Space Shuttle. One would be man-rated and would carry crew to and from orbit and also to the moon and return. The other would be an unmanned freighter with a large throw weight.
