Great article, really went into excellent detail about every aspect of the design. It would be good if NASA can make a rocket to launch the thing on though.
It's funny actually , the falcon 9 has exactly half the capacity needed to launch an Orion and full service module, but the falcon heavy has twice the capacity, the dragon really is a much lighter and cheaper to launch design. Then again a pair of Falcon 9's could probably send the Orion and SM up cheaper and immediately.

We all know there's only one true Orion rocket.
