The Future Of Space Delivery Systems

Where do you see space delivery systems or SDS going in the next 20 years?

See the threads on Skylon, etc., in the Space Business forum... the real key in advancing launch technologies is energy density in fuels...exploding reactions out the back end of a rocket is the best we have right now...non-rocket launch techniques are probably far off for now, but there are some very interesting theoretical devices being proposed

Skylon seem a bit like a throw back to the Von Braun 50 space race....

This really belongs in Space Business and Technology, so I will move it there. However I'll leave a bread crumb trail here for a while.
