When will electromagnetic takeoffs and landings be possible?

On bodies having thin or no atmospheres, and low gravity, it would be highly advantageous for flying craft to be able to hover electromagnetically above a runway while landing at high speed until they had slowed to a point that tires could be used; and also highly efficient to be able to receive their initial thrust for takeoff electromagnetically. Any chance of seeing this installed on the Moon or Mars within the next 50 years?
