    The name to bring us back to the moon is Project Constellation. But why the name charging? The Crew Launch Vehicle is now the Ares I and now Cargo Launch Vehicle is Ares V?

  3. The Space Shuttle or STS will never by safe on Shuttle to Launch Despite Objections · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The failure rates are like 1 to 75-100 compared to the Project Constellation 1 to 2000.

    The main reasons that killed the shuttle was safely, costs, lost of life and other payload rockets like the Ariane, Atlas and so on. I think a few years from now SpaceX will have most control over payload rockets.

  5. More budget cuts, Oh, wait this happened before! on New Budget NASA Space Science Missions · · Score: 1

    Back in the 60's and 70's there where plans to build a space station, more Moon exploration and landing on Mars using the so-called Nova rocket.

    But Vietnam got in the way and budget cuts killed almost everything, only the space shuttle survived by only one vote in congress.

    "The Nova rocket was a rocket proposed as a successor to the Saturn V, intended for missions to the Moon and Mars. From the late 1950s through the early 1980s, "Nova" was a generic name generally meaning a rocket larger than the Saturn V."; Wikipeda
