I know I'm going to get flak for this but other than an escape pod capsules should go the way of the dodo. It's OLD!!!! Kill it all ready. Yes it's been proven time and time again but if it ends up that way, my faith or what little I have left in NASA is done. <br />I agree that for the ships going to the moon or mars yes there is no need for them to have wings however the CEV system should just be an expansion of the shuttle. Take what we have learned for that system and go further with it.<br />I've looked at some of the design pics and all I can see is us going backwards. One design showed a booster system just like the shuttles but in place of the obiter was a rocket. UM..... Does any one else take issue with this other than me and my friends?!?!?!? <br />I've done allot of research and the block to having a craft that can have atmospheric flight and reach LEO and the ISS is the cost of lifting power. Let the EPA eat cake Put Nuc rocket engines in there and get rid of the oxidizer that would already increase the safely of the system and cut the fuel weight in half.<br /><br />That just my opinion I could be wrong.
