Hmm.

I was thrilled when I read that article earlier today. It give me hope that we might have a cheap and effective replacement for the human segment of the shuttle program, within a tolerable time frame. The money that will be saved with a capsule design, both in development and over the course of its operating life, will leave much more money on the table than would “Shuttle II”.
