Later in the distant future does anyone wonder if the concorde survived would it be taking people to the moon or even different planets? And will there ever be a plane that replaces the concorde? And do space planes exist and I'm not talking about the U.S. and Russian space shuttles either?

No. It was designed for flight in the atmosphere. It would have been easier to design a new plane.
There are no space planes. (None that takeoff and land conventionally and climb higher than 400,000 feet.)

No. The Concorde was an air-breathing aircraft. There is no air in space.
The closeset thing to a "space plane" is the shuttle.
What will the future bring? Who knows?! Back in the late 50s it was predicted that by the year 2000 we'd all be driving around in "flying cars." Thankfully that hasn't happened -- think airborne DUI. But even in the mid 1980s, nobody had predicted the Internet and how it would revolutionize global communications.

those in airline provider have been retired following the crash exterior Paris. the reason of the crash became right into a burst tyre by touch with a steel strip on the runway that had fallen from yet another plane. The products of the tyre punctured the gasoline tank interior the wing above the touchdown equipment and the escaping gasoline caught fire. i think of that a minimum of between the engines became into additionally broken this is why the plane lost top and crashed. previous to this incident, British airlines had spent something like 14 million money revamping the passenger cabin of the 6 plane it owned. lots time, attempt and money became into additionally placed into designing liners for the gasoline tanks to sidestep loss of gasoline if the comparable, or comparable, element occurred returned. So, it wasn't BA that desperate it did no longer desire to proceed with the plane, (in any different case why spend all that money?) yet Airbus and Air France who did no longer desire to proceed helping so few plane for what they observed as little or no return.

solid boosters would tear it apart,
you need to burn air and fuel to power a rocket in space
you would need to put tiles on it the prevent it from burning up on reentry
nope, even to fix those problems you need to design it for those problems
