Abstract Forty years on from the start of the Space Age, we now need a new vision of activities in space. The determination and enthusiasm — the pioneering spirit — of the early days have all but vanished, and economic considerations have become more dominant. Governments are looking for a return on investments rather than for prestigious “firsts” in space. What is really needed now is a new generation of reusable launchers to make access to space easy, cost-effective and reliable, with a subsequent safe return to Earth. Innovative solutions to several different space transportation problems are absolutely essential if we are to reap the benefits which space offers.
