At a glance it looks like most images are borrowed from CxP days.

At a glance it looks like most images are borrowed from CxP days.Of course they are the same images, see my previous posts. I just find it odd that they would show this picture with an MTV so prominently (I knew what it was but just being a bit silly) when the new MPCV webpage states that somehow MPCV is to be the “Spacecraft to serve as the primary crew vehicle for missions beyond LEO"
So, would a vehicle like a MTV (or a more general sort of transfer vehicle) be more suited to that definition?
