I keep hearing in articles about the new Orion space craft, that the Dragon V2 is not built for deep space. I'm assuming they are talking about the crafts electronics and possible other equipment's resilience to radiation? Oh, and I guess this radiation shileding would apply to humans on board as well?
I've heard Musk say a number of times that Dragon V2 may be the first craft to carry people to Mars. If this is the case, why do the science jounalists(sic) keep repeating this?
Will Orion be in anyway be more capable for deep space than Dragoin V2?
