A lot of the technology they pushed aside for now just isn't cost efficient yet. Once they get the cost under control, then we will see it. 10 to 15 yrs later. If NASA ever at their act together like they did for the Apollo missions. You would see an explosion of tech. Funny thing is. NASA can't build the F1 rocket motors for the Saturn booster any more. They don't know how the engineers did it back then. All the notes were lost.
