The Orion Moon Rocket and Excursion Vehicle.
NASA announced Lockheed Martin as the winning bidder to build the "next Generation" moon space craft and rockets today.
As you can see from the computer generated art below the planned craft are familiar, and simple. Possibly not what we expected after over forty years going by in space science since the last moonshot vehicles were on the drawing board in the 1960's. But, at least manned space flight is poised to be exciting once again!
Humans on the Moon are at least slightly more exciting than humans playing with M&M's in Earth orbit inside a flying tin can.
