I’m not sure that’s true — once in space FF may make technologies like VASIMR far more practical, but the big problem will always be getting into space. I don’t see how FF will significantly change the problems of launching to orbit, at least not without other major technological advances (such as space elevators or huge magnetic launch tracks).
