Default Orbital Space Place project


I've been reading up on the "Capsule" vs "Something with Wings"
debate. To my mind, as a software engineer who lives wherever
possible by the "Keep It Simple" principle, the "capsule side" make
compelling case.

Along with the inherent simplicity, it seems that a capsule approach
is something that could evolve over time as requirements change.

I'd be interested to hear how people think "Something with Wings" is
going to be more capable etc.

(I expect they'll go "Something with Wings", as I guess the capsule
approach might be perceived as a backwards step).


Byeeeee.
