From what I've read, we're pretty much turning the Shuttle hardware into our next "Saturn V". Put the payload on top, the shuttle boosters underneath the tank, and voila, the world's biggest heavy lift rocket. Wasn't that easy? We already have Atlas V & the Delta III/VI family of new heavy lift boosters. Both expensive. Now NASA wants to revisit the various Shuttle Derived designs. Space is not about economics & private enterprise. If it were, there would be a single space port in S. American launching Soyuz & Protons. Possibly to be displaced in a decade or so by Chinese rockets. Can you imagine NASA launching Russian rockets from a French spaceport!
