Interesting. Real testing being done with capsule applications. This
seems
to indicate that Lockheed Martin seriously believes that the CEV will be a
capsule based design, not some winged or lifting body design that NASA was
in love with from the late 60's through the 90's.

How many times has the discussion come up in these groups where capsules
are
"put down" due to their harsh landing mode (with previous capsules used to
"prove" that this is so). Using this dual airbag technology seems to
eliminate this problem.

Hi, Jeff:

You might check out the concept art at the www.projectconstellation.us web
