    ...way and concentrating on perfecting the worker's paradise at home. The policies that led to "MAD" were purely American and at the time Orion was being contemplated, said policies weren't in place yet. The Orion battleship would've been the ultimate deterrent, it is completely unpremptable...

    My latest hare-brained notion

    Joint US-Euro ATV follow on?

    The announcement in the original post led to an ESA-NASA agreement where ESA supplies an ATV-derived service module for the Orion capsule. Orion is being developed for long-duration trips, while the Commercial Crew (CCtCap) contracts are for short-duration ISS ferry flights. It is unlikely...
