NASA's Orion Moon Craft Unveiled

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bang-zoom-to-the-moon dept.

Velcroman1 writes "Lockheed Martin on Tuesday unveiled the first Orion spacecraft, a part of what NASA had planned as the sprawlingly ambitious Constellation project that would offer a replacement for the space shuttle — and a means to ferry humans into outer space and back to the moon. Orion and the companion Ares heavy-lift rocket were part of Constellation, a program cancelled under President Barack Obama's 2011 budget proposal."

    You actually got me to click on a link that went to Fox News. Thanks, but I like being well-informed, so I think I'll wait until a real news organization reports on this. Google News, for some reason, keeps popping up links to them, too. Looks like it's finally time to block them at the firewall, just in case.
