HI,

Thought you might like to see this,its NASA,S planned new ride,this is the Orion crew capsule and upper stage,build,with the larger 5 segment boosters. The vehicle is basically a stretched version of the shuttle tank,with 4 main engines.There is also a Block 0 one on paper,but its not certain that it will be built,as the Block 1 being the heavier version,is preferred.First flights are planned for Dec 2017?..

well heres the pics..

original plan to display the upper section as a seperate item,i have not decided which way to display them yet,?

in launch configuration,

AND FINALLY...my 4 year old came home from school,with this rocket he built for my collection,ive never been so proud.,we have discussed the design qualities,and have planned some intresting versions for this gorgous vehicle?

Don,

Impressive, Mate.

Fed ex markings? really?

Do they do returns pickups too?

That desk is worryingly tidy, for you?
