Three questions:
1 Will the Orion heat shield be in two thicknesses; one for LEO and
one for Lunar missions?
2 Is there a mass advantage to using an ablator over re-useable
TPS?
I think so.
You _think_ so? I didn't ask for opinion.
3 Is there a cost advantage to ablator over re-useable TPS?
Shuttle tile must be a lot more expensive than ablator.
Must be?
