  > That said, I don't know anybody could withstand a one year trip in a capsule the size of Orion... It's possible that they'd use something like Bigelow's inflatable module for extra living space during the trip. A year in Orion without additional space and with two roommates sounds like Hell.

  I read some of the background material about Orion. The transfer mission will include much larger structures for crew habitation. Orion is there as the return-to-Earth vehicle which also provides something they call 'abort anywhere' - the ability to pull the plug on the entire mission at any point during the flight to Mars.
