Project Orion

Post by Boomerang »

Here is a new article on NASA's latest work on the Orion program and Ares 1 and V. I wouldnt even bother posting it except NASA Langley hear where i live is prominently featured. By the way the facility they are doing the drop test at thats mentioned in the article was originaly built to train astronauts for the Apollo moon landings. Its kind of going back to its roots.
