Commercial Manned Missions
« on: 05/11/2008 01:19 am »
What are some commercial manned missions that might get done? I can name a few:

1. Manned COTS vehicle to Biglow hab/solo.
2. Dragon on F9 Heavy for circumlunar mission a la Apollo 8.
3. EOR lunar orbital mission.
4. EOR/LOR lunar landing mission using yet-to-be developed lander.
5. Ultralight missions to Biglow hab/Moon/Mars.

define "Mission" in this context ?
Orion - the first and only manned not-too-deep-space craft

It isn't COTS if NASA isn't involved

I meant a COTS type vehicle (one that could have been used for COTS)
