I like the modular approach. I know to our technology overload eyes, a capsule looks primitive, but is a proven design that will get the job done. That job was started with Apollo, but got sidetracked with the shuttle.
It is our second step out there, and there will be a third forth and so on. We are finally getting off our butts and going. This is it. It is time to get out there.
“And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me down.â€
The human race needs challenges. We need room to grow and expand both our presence and knowledge. Usually this need is filled with fighting each other. It would be nice to get the world together and use all of a war resources to explore space. But first we got to get the world peaceful and educated before we can journey to the stars as one planet. This is a start.

- I still thing the CEVs should be a more permanent design
- Other than nostalgia and publicity for space exploration...
- Space is about far more than just exploring.
- Establishing colonies, for one.
