I feel space elevators are the next step in Kerbal Space Program. Shoot materials up into space and then build space stations and/or spaceships that can only be built in zero gravity.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.
