SpaceX are at it again with their latest Dragon craft: the Dragon V2.
- Powered landing with the accuracy of a helicopter. Plus backup shutes if engines fail.

- capable of autonomous docking
- holds 7 people for several days
- and just all round cool
But I think that the British are our best bet for Guardian style space planes.
