For sure TKS concept was better than Orion, in principle due to its really modular design. It is demostrated by all the actual proposals based upon this project even if it have almost 40 years.

“Sicuramente il concetto del TKS è molto migliore rispetto all’Orion, in primis a causa del suo design davvero modulare. La dimostrazione sta nelle numerose proposte di upgrade di questo veicolo fatte di recente, nonostante il progetto di base abbia circa 40 anni”.
