Lockheed Martin CEV a piece of junk?

In a story at SpaceDaily.com, Jeffrey F. Bell, a retired Space scientist living in Honolulu, makes some not-so-surprising points about the Lockheed Martin plan. He basically says it's a piece of junk, but who didn't already know that?
Listen to a few choice snippets from his Op/Ed piece:

The LockMart CEV is laden with a variety of weighty systems that Apollo somehow got along without: wings, airbags, super-expensive titanium structure, an absurdly thin "Orbital Debris Shield", reusable RCC thermal protection, "active thermal control", elevons driven by huge electric motors, even a "Fire Depression System". This kind of massively overweight grab-bag design is often derided by space engineers with the term "Battlestar Galactica" after a huge spaceship in a cult 1978 TV series (not the pretentious low-budget remake now running on the SciFi Channel).

I'll say one thing, he sure hit the nail on the head about that new Sci/Fi Channel BattleStar Galactica. What a piece of garbage that show is. I don't know who is in charge of programming over there, but they need to be fired....and that Lockheed Martin planned CEV? Well, I said all I need to say about that right here.
