My Location

A test launch, crew escape scenarios, and the completion of a tour of the US.

The largest project since the Apollo programme gets under way for a launch sometime in 2013.

Originally a NASA project, plans were turned over to Lockheed Martin once the US imposed spending cuts on projects deemed 'uneccessary in the current climate'.
