Another article with prettier pictures: http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/nasa-unveils-ne.php http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/nasa-unveils-ne.php I suppose that at the very least this new design solves the "looks too much like Apollo" problem of the old Orion. Other weirdness: given that it's supposedly designed for "deep space", why does the design spec only call for it to support astronauts for "up to 21 days"? Heck, even Gemini 7 lasted nearly 14 days, and that was with two people in a capsule smaller than a fat guy's pants. Also, do we have a rocket to launch this thing yet? Wasn't Ares cancelled? What do we stick it on?
