wrote: How about scrapping Orion / Ares I and using Falcon 9 / Dragon to get astronauts in orbit and subsequently using Ares V to haul a large inflatable spaceship based on Bigelow-like TransHab modules into orbit? They could use Dragon or a private capsule to get to orbit, but would it work as a reentry behicle for a planetary mission? If not, NASA might as well build Orion anyway, at least. |
