China working on one.
India working on one.
ESA working on one.
DOD has X37B, & Boeing proposed a crewed version ( X37C).
DARPA proposing one XS -1.
NASA had one--- now in museum-- even though all experts said get replacement before retiring. AND DON'T go back to Ocean landing Capsules -- Abbey
COTS ( commercial) has a Dreamchaser Runway lander with minimum payload capability.
I believe there is a message here ---- DOD & NASA need an operational RUNWAY LANDER !! BUZZ stated this in a post in 2011--- Don't throw it away, WE should improve IT!
ALSO, the SSME & solids are being used in the SLS system which uses a capsule!
