        <description><![CDATA[Don't need a space capsule. That is so 60ish. Boeing needs to make the space shuttle better, not dispose of the technology. Solve the form and tile problem, and you have a fantastic space craft.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have always had a dream of having a capsule to shoot people off to faraway places!!! If you ever flew Amsterdam to San Francisco, you would understand how frustrating sitting in an aircraft for more than 14 whole hours !!!So Boeing...Please consider using a capsule to make long journeys  short...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One step forward and two steps back.  From falling out of the sky into the water and hoping the parachute works to controlled flight and able to land practically anywhere, and now back to uncontrolled falling out of the sky....   Doing away with the space shuttle is the stupidest thing the U.S. has done in its history of space exploration...and guess whose watch it was on......]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think this is all to the good - if it comes off.The more options to reach LEO - for both cargo and humans - the better.  With no disrespect to the engineers at MSFC, it's becoming apparent how much faster and more cheaply private companies can create hardware outside the normal cost-plus framework (yes, even while acknowledging that Orion is designed for ambitious mission requirements than CST-100 and Dragon).  When Apollo ended in 1975, the U.S. had no means for human access to LEO for six years.  We face another such window again, albeit perhaps for less duration if the Senate bill passed yesterday becomes reality. It would be desirable that this not happen again in the future should NASA's program of record run into troubles again.  More to the point, it makes a better argument for getting NASA out of LEO access and back to beyond earth orbit exploration.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Getting there is no longer a high tech obstacle.  Getting home Safely &amp; Repeatedly is the big concern.  If they use expendable launch vehicles (ELVs) do the have to splash down and get &quot;at sea&quot; retreavel like 40-50 years ago, again?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It may replace the shuttle for people, but not cargo.  But I think we've learned that people do not have to accompany large cargo items.  I think mission creep got into the original shuttle; let's hope it doesn't show up here.]]></description>
