Plans and programs are being formulated with the goal to ensure the nation is pursuing the best trajectory for the future of human spaceflight—one that is safe, innovative, affordable and sustainable. … it would take a combination of evolutionary and revolutionary space transportation systems to achieve that goal. The latter systems would use revolutionary propulsion systems; they would be reusable; and they would manifest aircraft-like operations for Earth to low Earth orbit (LEO) transportation. 1, record 2, English, - space%20transportation%20system
