NASA has future space ships on the drawing board. What I wish they would do is not put in unnecessary technology. The hatches were electrically operated while the Russian spacecraft had manual cranks. It's just a matter of what can be fixed easier in space and keeping it simple. I remember the story about how NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that could be used in zero gravity. The Russians turned around and told them that was nice, they just use a pencil.
The one thing that I would avoid doing if I were NASA is naming the ships anything with the letter C for obvious superstitious reasons.
