I hope he builds his own carousel space station with artificial gravity. that would be awesome
-
it uses japans PROX to red and dock

@britandproud109 what are you talking about? Dragon has the same interior room as Orion, and Dragon has better heat sheilding. Thus, it can return from Martian missions. Orion is a capsule. The rocket, Ares1 that carries Orion can NOT leave orbit. It can only go to low orbit. It requires another rocket to take it out of LEO. Ares1 uses Shuttle parts, thats why its so expensive and dangerous. Anything, Orion or Ares1 can do, Dragon and Falcon9 can do better.

@ti994apc but the Falcon 9 dragon (space x) is only cheap because it is only built to go in orbit, whilst Orion is built for deeper exploration

I agree and think of where we would be if we had never built the STS and stayed with expendable MLLV's, HLLV's and space capsules. The STS program was a mistake from day one. The cost of it has effectively choked out so many missions to the planets that its a crying shame. I hate to mention it but 2 Saturn-V launches could have put one hell of a 260 ton space station in orbit at 1/10 the cost of all the protons and shuttle missions. And solid's should never be man rated..ever!

thankyou!...space x first of 3 tests start 8 may 2010...pray it works!...or we will be just cosmonauts in interkosmos-usa!

It does look similar.
And remembering first 100 km, russians really like forms of word "Perspective".I mean PFI, or MiG-29 and Su-27.

Prospective Piloted Transport System.
Here's a site all about it:

It's somewhat atypical of Russian spacecraft architecture but I think it looks pretty cool. It will be able to hold 4-6 people similar to the American Orion.

OK, I understand now. And what does PPTS mean?

This is the United State's only real chance at a low cost, safe, spacecraft that carries 7 people to space. You can launch 11 times (98 astronauts) into space for the price a single shuttle mission (7 astronauts.) NASA's new Ares I only carries 6 people and will end up costing just as much as the shuttle and may be as dangerous.

Very nice. When do the do-it-yourself kits go on sale?
