New Horizons
→Launch: Solar escape velocity at the distance of earth orbit is 42.1 k/ps. It was traveling almost a third this velocity after shut down. Again, it required a boost from Jupiter to truely reach escape velocity.

New Horizons
Deleted bit about it being lauched into a direct Solar Escape orbit. At our distance from the sun, the velocity required is 42.1 kps. It was only going 16.56 after engine shut down. Jupiter encounter is what put it on a solar escape velocity.

Nasa has no such plans now that constallation has been canceled. Now congress is calling for prelim designs on a HLV, of which building isn't supposed to even start until 2015, AND that doesn't; include the capsule or propulsion units needed forTLITag: references removed
