      @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.

      Replying to @RocketAcademy

      @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?

      Replying to @RocketAcademy

      @kchangnyt If you think NASA is closer to Mars than DARPA to a suborbital spaceplane, you don't understand the magnitude of the problem.

      @RocketAcademy If comparison is silly, why make it? Different problem, different vehicles, different costs.

          @kchangnyt So, tell us why you think Orion is a problem worth working on. Why spend tens of billions to make space travel more expensive?

          @RocketAcademy Not sure why capsules bad. SpaceX likes them. Dragon is also retro-Apollo. What's the cheap alternative for BEO?
