Seven months after the Columbia debacle the agency is giving serious consideration to bringing back a new version of the Apollo capsule

It's time to get a new agency; these guys are entirely bankrupt of ideas, guts, and common sense.

And they are going to call it "Soyuz."

Exactly. What was need WAS to have a simple capsule system ALL ALONG, rather than burning all the boats on the beach with the space shuttle.

NASA really is in trouble if they resuscitate the capsule at this stage (unless they can do it *REAL* cheap, in which case we have to ask, why didn't you do this before?)
