...Orion spacecraft, by contrast, is based on proven Apollo technology. It?s configured like a large Apollo: a conical crew compartment atop a cylindrical engine module. It will sit atop heavy-lift boosters that are modeled in part after the shuttle?s own liquid-fuel engines - far and away the best part of the old shuttle technology and the part most worth saving.

...hoping to shave off the last two of its planned 17 upcoming shuttle flights by encouraging private industry to develop a commercial short-hop space vehicle to ferry astronauts and supplies to and from the space station.

A handful of movies from Universal and Warner are already for sale, including Swordfish, The Last Samurai, Million Dollar Baby, Phantom of the Opera, Apollo 13, GoodFellas, Doom and the aforementioned Serenity. More are on the way - by the end of June, once Paramount joins in, there should be about 40 titles in stores. Most titles slated for release are either full of action or artistically shot (or both), capitalizing on the high-definition format...
