No more Space Shuttle, but did you know...

We (the U.S.) already have a working space plane?  And it's been up a couple of times already?  It surprised me, for sure.  The only thing that made me start to say "yeah, but..." is that it's unmanned.  I'm assuming that this thing can be scaled up, so maybe it could haul people back and forth.  Having been in the Army, I would be surprised if they couldn't already get 200 guys in there (kidding, but they really did haul us around in tight quarters) http://www.space.com/news/secret-x-37-b-space-plane-spotted-by-amateur-astronomers-100522.html
