In response to the comments on how the Orion spacecraft looks too much like Apollo... Sometimes you have to look to the past to remember how to go forward. NASA is finally picking up exploration where it left off 40 years ago. Our country's space program is taking the first steps down a new road to the cosmos after running in circles for 30 years.

Orion looks so similar to past space vehicles because their concepts worked and now we can build on that and give it a modern high-tech twist that takes us farther. the world left the advanced space travel game for awhile but now we seem to be re-entering it which is necessary if you want the human species to live on past the potential of our limited-life planet.

Truly AWESOME! The US should put away their wars and concentrate on this type of stuff. Good stuff like this and not killing for control of the planet. This is truly worthwhile endeavour. The cutting edge of what good and great people can do. More exploration and less killing, please USA!

Nice job showcasing the Orion. I find it interesting that it models the Apollo capsules so much, but when you have a proven record with a previous engineering design I guess it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

They have to take older programs down so we can move on. The space shuttle did not have the ability to completely leave our full atmosphere and come back at the speeds necessary to go far into space. At one time we were on the moon, with what we currently use we cant even go there... it is sad but we are re-entering the adventure.

@brianrosado The Orion spacecraft does look very similar in design to the Apollo capsule, but that is because the physics behind re-entry haven't changed in the last 50 years and the capsule shape is still the ideal way to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at the high-speeds attained during deep space travel.

I agree, the human species has to learn to survive in space or travel further so we can get somewhere else and advance more. Our planet only lasts so long, as does our solar system, we need to understand space exploration is the only way to keep us going for a significant amount of time.

How Orion can reach Mars or asteroid belt? I think it must be large spacecraft assembled in orbit like ISS. But generally speaking Orion is impressive vehicle.

On missions to mars and other distant locations Orion will be docked with larger modules, probably looking a bit like a smaller ISS. But Orion will always be the heart of these assemblies, always the craft that returns to earth.

The further out you get the less delta-v (change in velocity) you need to modify your orbit, this means you need less and less fuel to change orbit the further you get. A larger launch stage would get this into orbit then smaller and smaller ones once you get to LEO.

You have to look beyond the shape. What´s inside looks nothing like the 60´s. You can´t have wings and other stuff sticking out because of the high speeds involved when returning from an high orbit or from outer space.

I can see this capsule going to the moon but not the long journey like Mars. Have you ever took a long flight of over 13 hours in an airline. You are pretty sore when you get up and out of it. Mars is a very long trip and can not be used like a jet fighter. Man needs to move about and exercise on a regular bases. You learned this in the space station. How do you overcome this?

The plan has always been to have a large habitation module docked to Orion for the journey to Mars. This will likely be a version of SpaceX's starship, similar to the HLS Starship in development for the Artemis program to the Moon.

Apollo worked that why nasa needed to look back in order to go forward. The shuttle was a complicated piece of kit that relied on 'new' technology that failed on two occasions. Too many parts on the shuttle meant too many problems she served the world well but its time to move on

The space craft didn't fail, NASA failed and continues to fail. NASA killed the Apollo 1 crew and two shuttle crews. Pure oxygen, frozen seals and parts flying off. Really? These ate stupid mistakes. Always behind schedule and over budget. My money is on Space X.

Johnny Good Was not, a bad idea AT ALL! who says that??? The shuttle was created and used, with the purpose, to move relatively, big parts for the space station, the ISS, were small crafts like Apollo or even today's crafts like the ''station x'', Soyuz or even Orion for that matter, would'nt be able to accompliced. The ISS, an advanced laboratory in space become a reality because of the space Shuttle. Look, back in 1973, with the last manned mission to the moon, The American administration, had won the so called ''space race'' against USSR. But for NASA's officials, was all about the reality of space. They knew quite well that, spending millions of dollars, for just repeating, ''small trips'', into the moon and coming back, had no point any more. 'Cos the existing technology and experiences at that time, was offering only that! So, They had to wait, for the improvement of the space technology, and the results from the experiences gained by the creation of the ISS. It is the very existence of the ISS today, that we know so much, about ''living in space'' and co-exist in the harsh emptyness of space. But again with the ability to survive and maintain, human presence!!!!! The beggining of all this was.... with the SPACE SHUTTLE!!!

+Johnny Good The Shuttle failed once because the temperature safety rule for the section seals on the booster was disregarded, managerial error. The Shuttle failed again because environmental wackos objected to the original foam heat shield on the external tank, which was made with CFCs, which are supposed to be harmful to Earth's ozone layer. For the last few years, we were launching with inferior foam, which came off and struck the orbiter. This eventually knocked off tiles in vital areas, causing a reentry failure. The fix for the 1st problem was to move on to reusable liquid fuelled flyback boosters. The fix for the 2nd problem is not to have fixed the original foam, which wasn't broken. The Shuttle program was expensive because a government agency ran it. That is what government agencies do, spend money. Space travel will not be opened up by an ascent on disintegrating totem poles, a legacy of the tie-in with ICBM technology, and a descent that resembles an eject abort from an aircraft. This may make a Mars mission in our lifetime more likely, because it is cheaper. But it is a step backward in technology and, in some areas, in capability. If all the Shuttle flights had been used to accumulate an orbital infrastructure, we could have had space dry dock/industrial station, with skyhook capability by now. It is a moot point, I suppose, because government agencies could never be the driving force behind the economic development of space. The best thing that governments can do to encourage that is clarify that prospectors own extraterrestrial resources they develop and real estate, etc. Loosen up the restrictions on private space missions. Reform space law. They are not seriously thinking of sending 4 astronauts on a 3 year mission in a cone that size, are they? That's fine as a reentry capsule to bring the folks the last hundred thousand miles or so, but what worked for a 3 week mission in Apollo won't work for longer interplanetary missions. Some of the components of this Orion technology have good implications for deep space missions, but as a command module to Mars, in a similar sense to the Apollo CM? Only if there is a habitat module for the trip.
