Dr. Erik Seedhouse, appearing on The Space Show this week, suggested that a Hermes - like spacecraft may be mated to a new European Space Agency Ariane 6 in the next decade to take humans to orbit. Hermes was cancelled by the ESA in 1992 but the Advanced Re-Entry Vehicle studies are underway. The ESA Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) will fly in 2012.
