NASA itself. The Shuttle has posed a large problem in recent years with its total cost of up keep. The shuttles are older and its beginning to cost more and more to keep them not only safe but maintain their maintenance. The new rockets and transportation devices they have and are working on will be more similar to the old way of doing things so to speak. Strap what they need to the end of a big rocket and shoot it up there like the original Apollo missions that way re-entry will become safer for humans as well. And as for putting hardware into space they will do everything on the ground before hand and shoot it there and recover the peices as they fall. Another thing to is the satellites we have now are also getting older and more and more have been replaced. Guess the key ingredient here is personal safety and the Shuttles are old and getting more and more unstable for their missions. Not to mention their budgets are getting cut yearly. So now we will see (if it isnt classified) rockets shooting the payload whatever it may be hooked up in the nose, if its manned it will simply fall back to Earth the old fashioned way and a whole frigate of naval ships will patrol for its recovery.
