No more flights into space.
you do not have money...he, he

50 years later... NASA come up with is a design that look's exactly the same as the one 50 years ago... amazing isn't it? I fear for the eventual extinction of man, we are trap on this rock! =(

view. which was, vertical takeoff of spacepods, of which the DC-X shared those characteristics.
as for the moon, 1/6th gravity. We can make a DC-x concept that would work on the moon since it has very low gravity.
we are stuck in the sixties because theres no alternative then to build a large staged rocket to get 1/100th of all mass into orbit. we need anot more research to improve that efficiency.

The DC-X was never ment to reach earth orbit, it was only a test vehicle that reached only subsonic speeds. Thats like 1/25 it needs to get to the iss in the first place.
checmical propulsion can simply not push a space cabin of that size into orbit. Maybe if it was a stage system with a 3by3foot cabin for the crew.
Maybe then the dc-x can go to orbit. It was only a test vehicle to test vertical takeoff.
it was made to in the first place to prove a science fictional

Seems Nasa`s Constellation Program has been cancelled now. They aren`t going anywhere. Nasa has become great at making animations though.

@britishareawesome69 Yeah, you said it..

Dude, I don't think we will ever return to the moon. Why should we have to risk lives at the cost of billions of dollars when we can send robots to do our durty work?

isn't the music from Star Trek? O.o

thats crap did yu c the guy waking
I love it when people on the internet think they have a better idea! Hey guys, NASA knows how to do this stuff! What do you know how to do?

so Rutan, from spaceship one, isn't as much as one person in NASA is? So Russia's space designer in Roskosmos isn't as good as the guy/girl at NASA? So Von Braun, WWII rocket scientist, isn't as good either?

My off the cuff idea: Let Rutan design a DC-X that can be based at the ISS, a 'pusher craft' to take it to/from the moon, and a SpaceshipOne-type craft to get the crew to and from LEO. Hell, if you design the DC-X lander to get on and off Mars as a primary capability, you might even be able to build that Moon Colony you're teasing us all with (but which will never be possible with this junk).
The 60's are over. NASA should start acting like it.

NASA will head its own path. Commercial space industry like SpaceShipOne will head its own path.
I hope NASA realizes that it is time to invest more money into space activity rather than ISS or space shuttles, which in the end are much more expensive than the Soyuz.
