Orion’s first flight on This Week @NASA – December 8, 2014
The successful first flight test of NASA’s Orion spacecraft on Dec. 5 not only was a historic moment for the agency – but also was a critical step on NASA’s Journey to Mars. Orion rode to space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a Delta IV heavy rocket with no crew, but loaded with about 1,200 sensors. The flight test basically was a compilation of the riskiest events that will happen when astronauts fly on Orion on deep space missions. Also, Journey to Mars briefing, 1st SLS flight barrel and Commercial crew milestone.

You guys at NASA should have landed Orion closer to the space center. More funds in return.

I met Rex Walheim a few weeks after the last space shuttle mission in Australia. He was shorter than I expected he would be.
I was excited and nervous to meet him have a photo with him and get his autograph. I will bet he remembers me, the big guy in Melbourne because I was physically shaking.
I never thought I'd meet an astronaut let alone one from the last sts mission and I only found out he'd be here 24 hours earlier by chance on the news.
Plus I watched the whole mission on NASAtv that's why I felt like I had a deep connection to him, in a sense I felt like I knew him in a way.
Great guy.
why is the first manned mission in 2021….. thats so long….
This is great;…..
Cant wait to see the day when man steps foot on Mars.
