Well, this seems all well and good, but I'm concerned about their extensive use of the new Co2 based plastics. Though these are cheaper in the short term (the corporation which devolped the new plastic is selling at a loss right now, in an attempt to gain market share), their durability and strength is questionable. Since their introduction one year ago, there have been no controlled scientific studies to determine its abilities! Given the importance of this mission, to the space-going community as a whole, I'm very disappointed in their choice to use these questionable materials.
