Look at the car for example, as far as transportation goes, and transportation is still it's main function, it still has five wheels and burns a ton of gasoline. The car is over 100 years old and so is the airplane, yet we still do not have the technology to combine the two for a usable transportation, the knowledge is not there, if it were you can bet it would be in use today. We can't get more than 50 miles out of a gallon of gas, and when we do part of the family doesn't get to go.

It can reach anywhere in the world within 4 hours once it is completed. Its engines are both jets and thrusters so it can get into orbit.

Its not technology that's the issue. Its more the amount of licenses and expense it would cost your average person makes it a bad investment.
