    Request Lunar dragons

    It looks like a Dragon XL would have a service module about the length of 2 normal dragon service module super dragos for sure with 8 spaced between the landing legs in pairs the crew transit Dragon would use a normal cabin and the Super Dragos in the bottom with no legs the lander would use a...

    That why I think a dragon XL might carry enough fuel. there is a lot of talk about a mini Star ship and it would be a lot like a Dragon XL

    Surely they had thought about that and had a separation system in place to deal with that.

    News NASA's Future: The News and Updates Thread

    I think Aries 1 maybe a stronger Aries 1B might have been able to get the Orion into orbit but there was that Abort issue during early ascent. Thanks to gattis we see a single engine SLS with the size of the shuttle ET looks like it could get the Orion into LEO. As for the Altair lander I am...

    News NASA's Future: The News and Updates Thread

    Nothing good to say here , back in the early 2000's with the cancelation of Constellation this whole endeavor seemed doomed. Back then NASA seemed to have a goal and a legitimate plan.
