A lot has happened in the area of space propulsion over the last 10 years prompting one to wonder, 'Where are we going next.' This paper will first take a quick look back at history and from this perspective postulate the future directions for space propulsion. Topics to be addressed include spacelift and spacecraft propulsion. The future holds many great opportunities but just as many technical challenges.
