Don't think of this a different form of space flight. Think of it as a construction crane. With this, you can ship up into space all the cool stuff you need to build space stations, inter-planetary probes, REAL space ships, etc.
I always thought it was real cool myself. The only problem is the stupid terrorists. But then, they are a problem regardless of whether we build cool things like this or not. Hech, they're a problem even if we all go back to living like cavemen!
