While with the shutdown of the Space Shuttle it doesn't seem like it, but we are moving closer thanks to SpaceX, X-Cor, Armadillo, Bigelow, etc. With Armadillo work we may even have rockets that are tail sitter landers
Slowly but surely that's happening, Rob, but damnit I mourn for our L-5 colony, our moonbases with radio antennae on the far side of the moon, and our spaceplanes with capacity for several hundred passengers in a shirtsleeve environment.
Thank you, Mr. Nixon.
