Apollo pulled 5% of the federal budget, compared to Constellation's 0.5%, basically.

Good luck USA ;-) (Greeting from Latvia)
Good luck with the funding - you'll need it.

Yeah, that's interesting... though I'd think with the experience and technology, as well as drawing on legacy hardware, they'd still be able to exceed what engineers in the 60's could.
Probably just not the same level of inspiration/challenge there was then (space race and all).

What I'm curious to find out is why Constellation will take so long when it draws on both the Apollo and Shuttle programs. Apollo engineers made the moon in under 10 years with less to start with and technology archaic by today's standards.

So the way to the future is to start by scraping the most technologically advanced spacecraft in history! Then we replace it with.. Drum roll please.. A multi stage rocket design from the 60s! Perhaps I should scrap my new laptop and mix the parts with those from old desktop models, broken pinball machines etc.. I will convert it to use car batteries for power, play records and VHS tapes. Then finally make it all fit inside a wooden crate for "portability".. WOW!!

The engine is a decendent of the J-2 used on Saturn (though upgraded to the latest materials and turbomachinery), but that's the only part really "from the 60s." Multistage rockets are still the only way humanity has of going beyond Earth orbit. As advanced as the Shuttle is, a craft like it can't do the job required by our mandate from Congress.
