As the race towards space expansion travels at the speed of light onward, we find that our one main barrier to continued success is the actually size of astronaut. Funding for research and development will come, and technology continues to progress. However, what limits us is actually humans' size versus the perfect aerodynamic shape of the ideal space shuttle. NASA has come up with the Perfect Space Shuttle (TM) and it allows for a 2 square foot space for our astronauts. NASA, Roscosmos (Russia) and the European Space Agency as well as 97% of private aerospace scientific community back this design. Obviously, humans cannot make 2 square feet work.
