It seems to be that the saga of NASA’s Orion spacecraft bears more than a passing resemblance to the whole Jay Leno-Conan O’Brien situation:

Orion

6-person Apollo-on-steroids moon ship —-> 4-person orbital transport —-> Canceled —-> ISS crew option of last resort

Conan

Late Show —-> Tonight Show —-> Canceled —-> TBS (network of last resort)

Jay

Tonight Show —-> Jay Leno Show —-> Canceled —-> Tonight Show (NBC option of last resort)
