I still think it's a shame that we have given up on RLV development, and are regressing by limiting ourselves to Apollo-style capsules and expendable launch vehicles. I still believe that a fully reusable TSTO vehicle should be developed to replace the space shuttle.

RLV may not be dead, but if it ever shows up, it will likely be a commercial endeavor. Given the operational mission that the VSE lays out, the capsule fits that purpose. Form follows function. Orion is not a technology development program. I would, however, like to see more government/industry effort being put into technology development that would lead to RLVs. I like the Stellar-J concept, for instance: http://www.stellar-j.com .

Why all the excitement about the clown? Some of the Mercury astronauts and Apollo astronauts did some serious clowing around - how about that 1st sandwhich in space, and that famous gold ball shot?

It’s sitting there on my desk… staring at me. For 2 weeks I’ve tried to hide, tried to cover it up, but it keeps resurfacing only to silently chide me. It’s my renewal notice from AIAA and I don’t know what to do with it.
