It will also be able to either splash down in the water as the Apollos did or thump down under a parachute on dry desert. Finally, modern composite materials and computers will improve on the ungainly weight and clanking brain of the older ships. "It's like comparing today's 737s with the ones that flew in 1967," says Scott Horowitz, an associate administrator for NASA...

...wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to hear the dronorous Allen soliloquizing his inner thoughts whenever he gets sheep-dogified. When he finally gets captured by the bad guys (whose presence has something to do with a nebulous animal rights/genetic engineering subplot) you hope, just for a second, that they might put him down...
