ausoleil writes "Floriday Today reports that NASA's replacement for the Space Shuttle, the Orion, is slipping behind schedule, and that the problems with it are growing worse:

"We're probably going to have to move our target date," NASA exploration chief Doug Cooke told The Associated Press on Wednesday after Nasawatch.com posted the 117-page internal status report (PDF) on the moon program.

"The cost problems include an $80 million overrun on a motor system. The Orion spacecraft's design remains too heavy for the proposed Ares 1 rocket.

"Software development, heat shield testing and other complex work remain behind schedule or over budget. There are dozens of such serious challenges, many of which are "worsening.""
