Every crewed space vehicle in US history has been built by a private contractor…

- Mercury: McDonnell
- Gemini: McDonnell
- Apollo CSM: North American Aviation
- Space Shuttle orbiter: Rockwell International
- Orion MPCV: Lockheed Martin
Are two astronauts going to be stuck in space forever because we decided to privatize rocket construction?
Looks like SpaceX might lose their launch license at the Brownsville "Starbase." Story coming out tomorrow shows more environmental violations, including operating pollution sources without permits.

Every time I go out on the water, some Navy boat scoops me up. Leave me alone! I just want to ride around in my Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV)

The sun coming out of eclipse from behind the moon, via the Orion MPCV just a few moments ago.

The 2033 Mars flyby mission proposed by Boeing would send an Orion MPCV attached to an Exploration Command Module, with a deployable shade to protect from the heat of a close pass to the Sun.

I was standing on my balcony at home in Iceland and Reid was floating in the Orion MPCV 90,000ish miles away: both of us admiring the same aurora (then I got snowed on; Reid probably didn't have that issue).

The other HLS proposals were pretty good IIRC? And we already have Orion MPCV and the Lunar Gateway independent of SpaceX.

I was the software quality inspector for the government on behalf of NASA on Orion mpcv. I cant wait to see the landing!!!

Amazing photos captured by the crew of the Artemis II mission of Earthrise and a solar eclipse.

SpaceX is not involved. Artemis/Orion evolved from the SLS/MPCV plans.

One of the challenges at the Agency is changing administrations everyb4 to 8 years that can force major shifts or changes to existing programs, which push schedules to the right forcing redesigns and cost overruns.

I call this "The #Artemis Hat Trick". Spectacular!

Lockheed has the Orion MPCV in good shape! And for all the other problems with SpaceX, Falcon 9 is by far the safest reusable launch system ever developed (out of a handful though)

Walter Cronkite (snd-a-like) narrates over pictures taken that capture the Earthset moments against the lunar surface by the crew of the Orion, the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) a partially reusable spacecraft used in NASA's Artemis program.

Ad Astra Per Aspera, my friends.

If anyone does care for space travel these days, we must boldly go despite everything.

So to that end, I'll try to support all efforts to reach the stars both domestic and foreign. Nothing else gets me more fired up than space exploration as a whole anyway.
