NASA announces Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV)
I'm of mixed feelings on the course that NASA is currently taking. Privatizing space exploration feels like a big time mistake but it gives the US Air Force a tremendous opportunity. I'm also a bit jaded on the MPCV.
We've given up on the Shuttle concept and are reverting back to a Big Apollo type capsule.
The current NASA Chief is a former Marine. And I can't say that I'm impressed by his leadership. First the outreach to Muslims via our space program and now the muddle that is our manned flight program?
Yeah, I'm not impressed. More like disappointed.
