In all the viewgraphs, there is no indication of a "hab" module like Soyuz/Shenzhou. There are important safety and comfort implications to this, despite the large size of the basic reentry capsule. There should be plenty of extra mass available on the "Stick" 2nd stage for a little elbow room. Will there be a hab for station flights? A properly modular capsule system will accomodate a range of above-the-capsule systems like airlocks, servicing/robot arms, Shenzhou-type freeflyers, etc. <br /><br />Are Boeing & Grumman open to selling their CEV capsule? It could find a wide range of uses. <br /><br />Josh <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div align="center"><em>We need a first generation of pioneers.</em><br /></div> </div>

"Progress flights, ATV flights and HTV flights. Plus commercial spacecraft like Kistler." <br /><br />Cool beans... thanks.
