Default Dragon Is In Orbit!

Also Orion's service module is far bigger than Dragon's, and
an Orion spacecraft as a whole is twice as massive as a Dragon is
given the Orion is intended to support manned deep space missions from
the get-go.

The original Orion was intended to do that. Isn't the compromised,
stripped-down one forced by Ares I limitations a great deal less
capable?
