To clarify, I mean spaceplanes dropped from another plane.
Not using traditional rockets, but rocket powered aircrafts.
Eliminate the need for expendable vehicles.

I mean he has a point. Space tourism is still in its cradle and the current costs just to get to 100km means that it is well out of the reach of normal citizens and therefore re-usability is still not at the forefront of peoples minds.

My bet is that ULA are going to wait until SABRE (Boeing is now an influential investor for reaction engines) is developed over the next decade then use the lessons from that to rapidly build their own version.
