I don't think there is any shortage of dreamers. It's the funders that are in shortage. The U.S. government wasn't willing to spend on STS since its price tag was so high and not much appetite from the general public. Frankly I'm not surprised. It seems to me that the dreamers are going to come from the private sector a la Musk, Bezos, and gangs. This can allow deep pockets like governments to spend frugally on projects that the general public can get behind.
