I'll set up a page for this at some point, but for now, photos:

I'd comment, but it's too late. I'll let someone
else slap you around. (The line forms here.)

I hope the real one looks less like Mother's Little Helper than the model.

Very nice!

But are there fittings for an optional concealed 20mm Vulcan cannon
and deployable launch racks for the KKV microsats?

With Pat's increasing inability to actually comprehend what he's
reading (if it was written by anyone remotely associated with the
Bush administration) I figure he'll feel he's been gypped if his CEV
model can't be kitted out in its true role as a US Space Force
orbital killing machine

Actually, the information on the Space Tug in the report states that it
is used to "deploy, reconstitute, replenish, refurbish, augment, and
sustain" space systems, not attack them per say. In short, it performs
the functions one would associate with a small shuttle-type
vehicle...like the CEV for instance.

The use of unmanned hypersonic Common Air Vehicles (CAVs) carried by
spaceplanes to deliver multiple PGMs is interesting:

This is probably something similar to what Putin has been bragging about
of recent.

I figured these things would only be stamped out
in China.

I hope you remembered to pay your licensing fee! :-#)

Just like the real thing...

No habla Inglais.

I'll let someone else slap you around.

I take it you don't want one, then...

Actually, the Lockheed CEV design seems to have buckets of space in the
rear for such things.

With Pat's increasing inability to actually comprehend what he's

....which is why I killfiled him some time ago.
