Yep BD, Entrepenuers will play a big part in reusable spacecraft, but the money is in passengers, not cargo.

On the land I think Kevin.

The proposed lunar module will carry more than 20 tonne of cargo to the moon. As for launching heavy payloads into orbit , they havent decided but their looking at systems to carry 100 tonne payloads into orbit. They keep changing their options every week.
NASA have a budget of 6 Billion $$$$ to spend on this until 2010.
