Project Constellation is NASA's spacecraft system which replaces the space shuttle, with flights beginning in 2015 with the Orion capsule and Ares I rocket. This site is a visual record of the concept and design phases.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

I find it interesting that we are back to the capsule concept with parachutes and water landings.
I thought that we might be using a better system by now. What ever happened to the space elevator.
Then again, after all these years, the wheel still works fine.

I wonder what Burt Rutan would say about this?
Burt's too busy taking Branson's money, but you bet your backside he ain't designing no durn capsules!
And yeah, the wheel still works fine, but I like using a key to start my car instead of hand cranking it in 20 degree weather.
Wow! Amazing pictures! Didn't know they had cameras that good in the 1960s....
I especially like the cross-section view at the top of the page showing one astronaut's boots in a second astronaut's face. Maybe they'll end up tweaking that design a bit....
