Also, note the technical issue. Orion was designed to come back from the moon, not from Mars. It can barely manage escape velocity on earth entry. Note page 17 of the Plymouth Rock paper: --- Rand SimbergThis is about the proposed Tito mission to Mars. If Orion can't survive the reentry, the show is off. That seems pretty definitive.
Update:
It isn't impossible, says Simberg. You just have to commit yourself to the mission. Are these guys serious?
