@SafeNotAnOption @RocketAcademy @BigelowSpace That's different from saying #Orion to Mars is "guaranteed dead."

@kchangnyt The Bush Vision of Space Exploration was announced in 2004. Complaining that DARPA hasn't build a Spaceplane in 6 mo seems odd.
@RocketAcademy I'm not complaining about DARPA. I'm saying it's silly to extrapolate from incomplete paper study to revolution as done deal.

@kchangnyt Yet, you extrapolate from a suborbital launch of a Sesame Street toy and a rubber duck to NASA astronauts on Mars? -
@kchangnyt If you think NASA is closer to Mars than DARPA to a suborbital spaceplane, you don't understand the magnitude of the problem. - 11 more replies

@RocketAcademy DARPA is great -- risky, ambitious projects that often fail. Can't assume that for $140 mil you get a working spaceplane. -

@kchangnyt: Can't assume that for $140 mil you get a working spaceplane.” Far more chance of that than Orion capsules flying to Mars.
