Current space acquisition, vehicle processing, and operations are too cumber-some and expensive to meet future emerging war fighter needs. The cost associ-ated with placing assets into orbit has been the greatest problem to the United States (US) fully recognizing its potential in space. With the emergence of com-mercially available reusable launch vehicles, the military must consider the pos-sibility of building an internal space lift capability as a core competency. Also, the military must develop and integrate new capabilities from space that will enable strategic capabilities, down to tactical war fighter implementation.
