Simple, Survivable, Affordable

Transformational Space Corporation's working on it:
The t/Space Earth-to-orbit systems consists of three major parts: a crew transfer vehicle; a two-stage LOX-propane launch vehicle; and a launch aircraft.

Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites will build the structure of the CXV, and t/Space and other contractors will integrate the capsule with avionics, life support, on-orbit propulsion and other systems.
