So, Lockheed Martin landed the Orion contract. (For those of you not aware Orion is the human launch vehicle that will replace the shuttle)

It’s said to be the “return to the moon” capsule. But I have huge doubts we will be returning to the moon in the next 50 years. It’s simply not cost effective, there is no financial incentive to go.

And without that the program will eventually be nixed by the feds.

We’ll go back to tossing people into earth orbit and running the ISS, with pisspoor returns.

Space travel will only go places with privite investment at this point.
