       Research papers could be here, he thought.

       What's supposedly wrong with the mission?  I know they've had fuel delivery problems, but those seem to have been fixed thus far today in launch prep.  Of course, anything could go wrong still, but I am excited that people are going back to the moon, even if just a fly-by.

       eh, oh wow.  Thanks for that.  I suppose I should not be surprised by the incompetence on display there.  I wonder why they don't have this issue with capsules returning from the ISS?  Wouldn't the capture trajectory be about the same as the craft enters atmosphere?

       Are they just too stubborn or stupid to use that design instead, or is there some reason it won't work on this particular craft?  Maybe it's too much mass, hence why they were looking for something different than was used on Apollo to begin with.  I only have an amateur knowledge of spaceflight and orbital mechanics, enough to understand the concepts, but no where near enough to understand the engineering.
