>Can this capsule land on Mars? No. The parachutes are insufficient, no retro-propulsion.

>Can this capsule return to Earth from Mars? No, the heat-shield cannot handle the re-entry speed. Nor is it
rated to operate for 2 years on a mission.

>Is this capsule intended for lunar missions? No. President says so. NASA says so. Congress says so.

>Is this capsule intended for ISS? No. There are far cheaper spacecraft.

>Is this capsule intended for Asteroid rendezvous? It has no airlock, no arm, no un-pressurized cargo hold.

What are we doing?? Why are we doing this??
