Essentially, if canceling Orion continues to be wrapped up in cancellation of the Constellation program. If that happens I don't believe NASA will even have the equipment necessary to resupply the International Space Station once the shuttles are retired. It will be dependent on the Russians, Europeans, Japanese, and a few companies NASA pays for resupply. As I understand it the only remaining vehicle that can transport crew is the Russian Soyuz.
On the original topic, this guy is an idiot but that doesn't even begin to register as a surprise anymore.
