Here it is the last version of the next (probably) US manned spacecraft.

Enjoy it....

Another excellent example of you work good skils, my dear fellow townsman
Every time that you post something is a really pleasure! BTW, I just read "Luna rossa" and I really enjoyed it.
Thank you very much

Thanks Michel, effectively this time seems that Orion CM has the TPS changed.
There are a lot of black tiles resembling the Shuttle's one.

It is true.

Frankly, I'm not sure that the Orion TPS is made with the same material as Shuttle's one, but it looks pretty closer.

Archipeppe,


Beautiful work as always. Hopefully we will built this, and it will explore inspiring worlds.
