Orion Away!

So excited that NASA’s Orion spacecraft successfully completed its first test out of the Earth’s Atmosphere to an elevation of about 3600 miles. I for one already deeply miss the Space Shuttle and am looking forward to people being back in space to the Moon and to Mars. I certainly hope it happens in my lifetime and that those astronauts are returned safely to Earth.

Extreme Tech has a great roundup of photos and videos from the test.
