Obama brings back Orion capsule.

Discovery News makes me curious, again, about the future of American space travel:

President Obama is reviving the capsule component of the scuttled Constellation program and setting a time frame for development of a new heavy-lift booster intended to take astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit for the first time since the Apollo moon missions ended in 1972.

I guess we’ll see what’s what soon enough. There’s a speech today at Kennedy Space Center.
