In the near future, i.e. in 10-30 years, most likely nothing will change. The old grandfather’s method of using chemical-fueled rocket engines to detach from the Earth’s surface has proven itself perfectly, and fundamentally new methods are not being worked out yet.
Perhaps the rocket method has only one drawback – the cost, a huge astronomical cost, unbearable for most countries of the world, not to mention individual companies and individuals. Accordingly, the economic return from the space field is still negative. Much more money is invested than is earned. So thanks to this disadvantage, there will definitely be progress in the space field, but not soon.
I consider the technology of the space elevator to be the most promising of all the fantastic ideas available today without a rocket launch. The idea is very simple. At the equator, the cable is attached to the surface of the Earth, and a counterweight clings to its other end.
As a counterweight, it is best to use a gateway station. The work schedule of space trucks may not coincide with the work schedule of the elevator, warehousing is necessary.
