If the time is not yet right to bite the bullet of
inflatable space transports, then it is not far off. It
definitely has the potential to quickly make a lot of
more traditional approaches obsolete and I am
somewhat surprised someone is not already
covering the possibility.

There is a german project for an expendable, fully
inflatable SSTO. But unfortunately I did not
bookmark the link, and I could not find this on
google. I will let you know if I find it again.

I hope you find it, it sounds very interesting.

I found this interesting website:
http://www.marshome.org/files2/Space-Inflatables.ppt
It makes brief mention of the possibility of an inflatable/collapsible
shuttle ET.
