SUBJ: Those bastards did it...
Today's post includes guest writing from Nik Proxima - find them on twitter here ! Nov 16, 2012 So they've done it, they've doomed us all to never make a spaceship again. HQ picked SNC's proposal, so we've got our ticket to tell the Russians to get lost. Shame about the kick in the teeth to the Orion team. It's a lifting body though, I don't think they're gonna like that when they're fishing our corps out of the Atlantic. Talk soon, Neil Nov 16, 2012 Taking a look at the details....sure is a weird one. Looks a lot like the CRV we built here before they tossed it out with Core Complete. Interested to know if Johnson's planning to hand any of that work to the Sierra folks....they'd probably appreciate some pointers :) Still don't quite get logic for pulling that out of the dustbin. Backup makes some sense, lots of talk about "dissimilar redundancy..." I think I'd want "SIMILAR" redundancy. Match what CEV does i
