Amen brother. Btw kennedy would have pushed apollo, but he was assassinated. Nixon was the one who was president when the program was cut, and he didnt even do much for it. But spacex saved me. I thouggt we were in for it. Turns out, our prayers have been answered. Mankinds exploration of space will go on!

my son also thinks it is too cool in how there is no LEM and the capsule also lands.

@thesnorklemonkey i was curious of the fuel mixture, it would carry different fuel no? for landing and LES vs fuel cells in the service module?
You're side looks very itchy.

spaceX, slick! though the shuttle was a nice tool, it is nice to move on. When's the first SpaceX mission to the ISS?

@railfanatic844 Well, SpaceX is going to be sending an unmanned cargo Dragon capsule to the ISS in late 2011/early 2012. The first manned mission could be as soon as 2015! :D

yea i saw the LES engines, but what about the fuel payload and such. we always kept the LES tower separate for safety reasons and weight.

@mrbit10 I'm not sure if the tower weighs more than Dragon's system or not. But I think the LES being part of the capsule's pretty safe because you don't risk a separation failure. You can't re-enter with the tower attached.
