The contractor teams vying to build the Orion vehicle, which NASA hopes will take astronauts back to the moon, include a who's who of industry titans, and at least two companies will benefit regardless of which team wins the multibillion-dollar contract

The stock prices pretty much show it's Boeing/NG too.

COTS was a shocker with SpaceX getting in. But whoever this goes too will do a good job.

Of course for the companies involved, it means a lot in terms of money and jobs, but are there any significant technical differences that we know of? Or major differences in the construction/shape/capabilities etc.?

Funny, but that was exactly my thought about Kistler... at least SpaceX has hardware, not just a wine-bottle shaped powerpoint.

Pedigee does not count since it has "expired". Nobody who worked Apollo is still with the companies

And, if I'm remembering correctly, many of the facilities where the vehicles were built are long-gone. The companies are long-gone, too, for all practical purposes. North American Aviation and Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation haven't issued paychecks in awhile!

That'd be a shocker.
