Send us to Mars. We don't need a space plane for that, just use the Mars Direct plan.

Sending people to Mars, repeatibly, will spur technology in of itself, even if the primary transportation technology has been around since, oh, 1967!!!!!!

NASA doesn't build much of anything... private defense contractors do... they bid for contracts...

Use rail guns. Then they can double up as artillery cannons for killing those space bugs.

Tired of ads?

What would a space plane cost? $10 or $20 per US citizen. Money well spent. Heck, it cost me close to $20 last time I saw a movie.

The space plane is cost effective even for the entertainment value of all the cool new missions they could do.
