Space is so awesome. Hopefully I can go into it before I die.
They're working on a new launch vehicle than can carry far larger payloads into orbit, including manned missions.
I thought it was something that they wouldn't have ready for 10 years or so, but apparently they plan on using this system to ferry astronauts to the ISS between 2010 and 2014 (after the shuttle is retired, before Orion is ready).
