First Test Flight
NASA's unmanned Orion spacecraft has successfully splashed down about 400 miles west of La Paz, Mexico, in the Pacific Ocean after a liftoff, two orbits and re-entry that lasted just under 4 1/2 hours.
Orion, which could one day take astronauts to Mars, made a "bull's-eye splashdown" at 11:29 a.m. ET, mission control said, after the spacecraft endured a searing 4,000-degree Fahrenheit re-entry and was carried to the ocean surface under four giant red-and-white parachutes.
Mission control called the first test of the capsule a "picture perfect" mission that had surmounted "significant milestones" for the program that could eventually pave the way for putting astronauts on the surface of the Red Planet.
Would you last 7 months in this little capsule with a fellow getbigger for a chance to go to mars ???

Right now this is nothing more than a fairy tale. This will not happen in any Getbiggers lifetime. The technology is just not ready. Interplanetary space flight is 100-200 years in the future. Interstellar travel is 5000-10,000 years away. I don't think the human species will make it that far.

Actually spacex is working on the technology that could have us there by 2030(at the latest)
THis orion project however is a complete fucking joke.
Liberal-conversative-autistic-not retarded alike should be fucking annoyed with this shit.
It's a massive amount of government money being handed over to defense contractor companies. It's not technology advance nor cost effective.
It's a huge waste of tax payer money.
It's quite literal criminal how fucked this situation is.

For real though Nasa has accomplished some incredible things.
