[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] Interesting. [QUOTE]NASA intends to use the moniker Orion as both the title for its next generation manned craft, the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), and as the project�s name. This approach is modeled after the 1960's program when Apollo Command Modules launched astronauts under Project Apollo.[/QUOTE]I didn't think that Apollo referred to the CM specifically, but of course I wasn't around then. I haven't ever heard a specific name for the LEM, either. So it's like this: Apollo Project - Apollo CM - Saturn boosters Orion Project - Orion CEV - Ares boosters But yeah, the previous use of Orion was much cooler. But personally I'm thinking the NASA guys are SG:Atlantis fans. :D B.J. [/QB][/QUOTE]
