If our rate of space research had stayed at the levels it was in the days when everyone wanted to land a man on the moon, your idea of that dream spaceship would be a reality by now. But obviously research and funding was cut down for the space programme! 

Truthfully, I think at least the US has always had a big portion of military spending in a real space craft. I just think it is still secret as there is no military need to demonstrate is capabilities as once it is shown other nations will focus on copying it

Granted, this is just conspiracy theory type stuff, but I think it make sense based on how the US does things.
