Space elevator
The concept of the space elevator has actually been around for over a hundred years, but it is only now becoming technically feasible. While we work out the engineering for the space elevator, rockets will still be the workhorse of the space industry. As a sidenote, experiments are being done to study the use of lasers for propulsion, another idea somewhat common in SciFi literature.
