So, the stick is dead, long rest the stick.

So does NASA push ahead with Orion/CEV, or put it on the shelf w/o
something that can lanuch it?

Why wouldn't NASA start engineering studies now to see if SpaceX
Dragon can be adapted to their ISS servicing needs? Can the Dragon
be mated to other EELVs, (Delta-V heavy, Atlas-V, DIRECTX/Jupiter)
or will SpaceX insist on Falcon 9 exclusivity? Comments?
