I think we should implement this:
Direct 3.0 Space Shuttle Derived Heavy Lift Launcher
Space Review Article endorsing it.
Note that doing the Direct 3.0 Launcher would not change plans to do private LEO shuttles. Those would still be there. Direct 3.0 is for beyond LEO, like going to the Moon, Mars, asteroids, etc. However, it allows us to "close the gap", for heavy lift, much faster.
(MeteorWayne can move this to another thread if he wants of course...I wasn't sure if it would be better in one of the existing threads)
