>Arguably the Apollo nostalgia aesthetic is what's kept the U.S. from separating "habitable volume" from "reentry capsule" (Soyuz style), which is pretty clearly a superior and more easily extensible architecture. The lightest reentry vehicle *just barely* fits your crew.
>Every time you want a longer mission, you want more hab volume & consumables volume; doing that by enlarging a hab module is cheap and light. Doing that by requiring a bigger and custom designed capsule is neither.
