I really do hope they focus on infrastructure, like LEO refueling depots.
Depots mean you can launch missions which would not fit (fully loaded with
fuel) on an existing launch vehicle. You could even modify upper stages
of launch vehicles with refueling capabilities so that a dedicated "EDS"
like stage wouldn't be needed at all.
Lower cost to orbit could enable ...anything..we should decide, need or
want to do in space. Whether it's SSP, mining, tourism or anything else.
