“Who are you guys?” Jupiter-130,the DIRECT concept



Jupiter-130 :the DIRECT concept

"the DIRECT concept, presented by Stephen Metschan. Depending on your point of view the committee seemed either interested in or skeptical about the idea (I heard both reactions afterwards) although the latter seemed evident in Leroy Chiao’s question to Metschan: “Who are you guys?”" Space Politics
http://www.spacepolitics.com/


The Space Review: Constellation and its challengers
"Stephen Metschan said DIRECT’s entry-level booster, the Jupiter-130, could be built for $8.3 billion―$6 billion less than Ares 1―and be ready as early as September 2012. “The bottom line is that we believe the Jupiter can close the gap in the current budget,” he said.
Metschan mentioned that a “courageous group of engineers and other concerned citizens” have worked on this, but that wasn’t sufficient for one committee member.
“Who are you guys?” asked former astronaut Leroy Chiao. “It’s difficult to assess the work without knowing who’s doing it.”"

Jupiter-130 :the DIRECT concept

"the DIRECT concept, presented by Stephen Metschan. Depending on your point of view the committee seemed either interested in or skeptical about the idea (I heard both reactions afterwards) although the latter seemed evident in Leroy Chiao’s question to Metschan: “Who are you guys?”" Space Politics
http://www.spacepolitics.com/


The Space Review: Constellation and its challengers
"Stephen Metschan said DIRECT’s entry-level booster, the Jupiter-130, could be built for $8.3 billion―$6 billion less than Ares 1―and be ready as early as September 2012. “The bottom line is that we believe the Jupiter can close the gap in the current budget,” he said.
Metschan mentioned that a “courageous group of engineers and other concerned citizens” have worked on this, but that wasn’t sufficient for one committee member.
“Who are you guys?” asked former astronaut Leroy Chiao. “It’s difficult to assess the work without knowing who’s doing it.”"
