America has more new spaceships on the way
I wonder how much effort it would take to enable Crew Dragon to fly people to the Moon and pull the rug from under Orion's feet?A slightly improved heat-shield and some rad-hard electronics would do it IMHO. That would save NASA another $10 billion or so.I find the statement that there's a public desire for a winged spaceship silly. I haven't heard anyone call out for such a vehicle, certainly no chant from the general public. The dream of an airliner-like space shuttle died when Columbia disintegrated upon reentry.
