Default Nasa chooses Orion heat shield

Wait, when did Orion ever have a reusable heat shield? I thought it
was just a removable/replaceable heat shield.

A removable heat shield would be a tall order, and NASA specifically
wanted to avoid the Shuttle's TPS pitfalls with Orion.


That should have read "reusable heat shield", by the way.
