New Apollo draws its inspiration from President Kennedy's original "Apollo" plan, which in 1961 challenged the nation to put a man on the moon within the decade and return him safely to Earth.

New Apollo will close this technology gap with foreign competitors by investing billions of dollars in new federal research into advanced clean technologies, and creating a government-funded risk pool to help struggling start-up clean-energy companies commercialize their products.

Four Apollo veterans - two high-ranking engineers and two astronauts who flew in both Apollo spacecraft and the space shuttle - were asked to determine if a vehicle derived from the cone-shaped Apollo command module (CM) could meet the goal of simply bringing crews down from the space station.
The conclusion was that not only could the Apollo CM do the job, but with the addition of a propulsion module, it could meet most of the Orbital Space Plane's requirements.
The Apollo board noted that the CM-derived return vehicle might be available 4-6 years after the contract was signed, and a vehicle capable of sending crew to the station a year or two later.
