A Sense Of Perspective

Tell you the truth, there was a bit of "why should I care" in my mind when it came to NASA's Project Constellation and the Orion/ARES tests.

That went away when a buddy at the Knoxville IPMS meet Tuesday night showed me a model kit of the Constellation Orion/Artemis unit. Orion and Artemis are substantially bigger than the corresponding Command/Service and Lunar Excursion Modules from Project Apollo. Orion is designed to carry EIGHT Astronauts instead of three. So I am impressed with the ambition involved.
