shuttle would be wonderful EXCEPT it costs too much and kills
crews.....

CEV is basic people carrier with some cargo variants to orbit only

heavy lifter is for BIG LOADS, and frankly I doubt it will ever be more
than some pretty pictures:(

Really doesnt matter the entire shuttle derived idea is too high
operating cost wise, and within 10 years there will be low cost
commercials far surpassing shuttle derived.
