Hmmm... Well until we figure out a way to create lift-via-Bernoulli effect in a vacuum... our space program will most likely continue on with the rocket boosters... though they are about as efficient as a 59 Ford with a worn carburator. From what I hear, work is being done on a superman-the-ride type of launch pad. The vehicle is hoisted to the top of a large hyperbole, and using Earth's gravity, begins it's ascent into the atmosphere, without wasting the large amount of fuel it takes to get the damn things moving... This is also known as the "Rosie O'Donnell momentum theory"
