      @kchangnyt Orion is $9B to duplicate Apollo. DARPA XS-1 is $140M to revolutionize space transport. Why is media so impressed with Orion?

      @RocketAcademy @Rocketeer_UK I love DARPA as much as the next person, but XS-1 is an unmanned suborbital spaceplane that is a paper design.

      @kchangnyt "XS-1 is an unmanned suborbital spaceplane that is a paper design." And those microcomputers are toys that can't run COBOL!

      @kchangnyt And those airplanes can't cross the ocean like dirigibles can! The argument never changes. :-)

      @RocketAcademy If slamming NASA for not having a Mars roadmap, seems also silly to laud nonexistent DARPA paper plane as revolutionary.

      @kchangnyt XS-1 contractors have been working for months; a Orion contractors for years. Millions of $ vs. billions. Silly comparison.

      @RocketAcademy Right. XS-1 contractors have been sketching for months. Northrup has cute model. Ergo space transport revolution.

      @kchangnyt Hardware doesn't materialize overnight. Do you think Orion was built in six months?

      @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.

      @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.
