Since we are now looking into Shuttle Derived Heavy Lift, I got thinking about the Space Island Group's proposal for tehir own shuttle fleet and cargo carrier. Now I am unsure if the shuttle fleet is worth looking into, however their Cargo Launcher might have some worth to the VSE:<br /><br />http://www.spaceislandgroup.com/Gallery/siggallery13.jpg<br /><br />It is a rather interesting concept, somewhat like Energia.
