I'm not saying the Orion is going to be anything physically resembling the former shuttle. In the context of the article, I'm saying the Orion is something that will serve a similar purpose, and for which you can sell naming rights. Even better if it is not reusable, since you can sell naming rights for each mission.

In that case, you shouldn't have replied to my post as though Orion contradicted my claim that there won't be another shuttle. Also, you need to check your facts -- Orion has been cancelled: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/35209628/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/nasa-grieves-over-canceled-program/#.UxAz5TldVJw http://www.nbcnews.com/id/35209628/ns/technology_and_science...

The article suggested that NASA should sell naming rights to spacecraft to fund the space program. Maybe if NASA did sell naming rights, there would still be an Orion, or gasp another shuttle!
