Did VentureStar technology lead anywhere?

Question

VentureStar seemed to make a bit of progress before being cancelled in 2001. Did any of the technology developed for this program lead anywhere? For example, its aerospike engines or high-tech fuel tanks?

It seems that pretty much all rocket technology after then didn't deviate too far from previous generations.

Many lessons learned from that activity are being applied to ongoing composite tank work at NASA.
