Cheers Rich
I saw the shuttle atop the AN.225 at Paris in 1989
The 225 was actually built to carry it

I went inside it ( the AN.225 that is ) at Farnborough.

Nasa just gave a go for another mission past the this one coming which they swore would be the last.
But one day the shuttles will go to the respective buyers. hopefully
the pads will be fitted for the new space gen vehicles. something futuristic is my guess.
you know -- long and pointy.

You never know, we might step into the void........well it's a nice thought.
Idea for a orbiting assembly dock station -

And what will be built with it -

All parts taken up to space via remotely controlled vehicles, in this case Skylon -

Reaction engines are quite a few projects on the go, contra-rotating turbine engines, heat exchangers and a Hybrid Air-breathing Rocket Engine

I've been following Reaction engines for a while and I'd love to see their SSTO craft get funding. It's the way to go IMO.
A lot of stuff looks promising at the moment, the VASIMIR engine being one of them.
