Manned Space-Flight: FLIGHT CANCELLED

October 16, 2007 1:46 PM

This page lists all the planned manned shuttle flights until the shuttle is retired in 2010. Where can I find a list of planned manned space flights after this?

Um. Have they announced a manned space vehicle to replace the shuttle with?

I didn't think they had, so in that case, what would they go in? Maybe they need to nail that down first...

On Wikipedia, you've got this list of planned Constellation flights (manned and unmanned) but that's for just the Constellation program. There's also the Future Spaceflights category but I don't see anything in timeline format yet.

Yeah, I'm asking more out of hope than anything else, especially since Dec 14th is the 35th anniversary of the last time a human being was on the moon.

Project Constellation, consisting of the Orion CSM atop the Ares launch vehicle, in an Apollo-style stack. 3D concept animation. First manned flight is scheduled for 2014. In the four year gap between that and retiring the Shuttle, NASA will be relying on Soyuz launches and private spaceflight contractors.

The Chinese have plan to put a man on the moon, but they keep their schedule secret. Rough estimates.
