Well, then, the Orion platform is a no-brainer. Cool system, in all seriousness.

A NASA spokesman just used “irregardless”. Grrr.

From Nasa spokesperson: “Nothing to worry about.” “Were not concerned.” “Oh, and by the way, everyone will be staying at the space station tonight.” “The shuttle will be unmanned.”

Personally I preferred the original project Orion. None of this messing around with capsules and shuttles. Just chuck 8,000,000 pounds of payload onto an escape velocity with enough Delta V to get to mars in 90 days. But it was a bit too hard on launch facilities. :)
