Hi gaetano, You website does a lot of handwaving, but doesn't really state the issues in clear numerical terms. For example, you discuss that a new rocket and CEV will have many parts that might fail, and then compare the shuttle favorably to this. I have the impression that the shuttle is much more complex than the new system.

Bear in mind, I'm not an advocate of the new system either, but the two ideas you seem to be arguing for are an improved reusable shuttle, or a giant old fashioned Saturn V like rocket.

I didn't think your position was especially clear.
