NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and Johnson Space Center Director Mike Coats visit the Orion facilities inside Johnson’s Space Vehicle Mockup Facility on Monday, Sept. 26. The Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Module is being developed by NASA as the nation’s deep space exploration spacecraft. In conjunction with NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), Orion will carry astronauts to asteroids, Mars and other destinations in the solar system.

I mean, the paper said that the muon neutrinos were going about 1.0000248 * Light speed?
That is about 299,799,893 m/s if light travels at 299,792,458 m/s, about 7,435 m/s faster than light, ON AVERAGE. Mind you something like 20,000,000,000 tests were done and only 16,000 neutrinos were detected and ON AVERAGE those 16,000 were reported to be going .0000248*FTL… It just really seems more likely that it was a failure of accurate measurement that has turned into a publicity stunt.
@ABitOfTheUniverse SHHHhhhh! Shhh shhh! Shhhhh!!!
Warp speed.
@inka9 Sad, for the ESA’s part. I’m patiently waiting the announcement that contain three words: European manned spacecraft.
I have no sound track or its very low level
@beakz I can’t believe they seriously intend that tiny module to be the only habitable part for the trip to Mars. If they do they’re in denial about what’s needed to keep the crew fit and sane. They should also have a design that lets the habitation module spin to simulate gravity.
@audience2
Well, if I had to travel to Mars in some tiny module and it might cost me an amount of my sanity to get there and be the first one to do it, you better believe I’d still do it. I was in the Navy, I know all about having low amounts of personal space for many months at a time. I think there are also plenty of people like me, who wouldn’t care if it meant you were the first to get to go to Mars.
Sign me up!
Neil Alden Armstrong was right! Its actually kind of sad because nasa is more concerned of its budget and profits from sat tv, phone and gps launches than actual space exploration now more than ever. With no human spaceflight program Nasa now has become another gov, organization with a high spending budget that dose absolutely nothing.
@audience2 Its large enough for 6 people plus the larger modual for surface landing is launched separate and docked with in space.
Time to start colonizing space. And it is probably time to build up a Earth defense force just in case.
@JamesBerg86
you do know its a 1 way journey right…i’m just saying. its go there do your job and dye.
@THE16THPHANTOM
Well aware, I’m willing.
I’d prefer to have maybe a year before I had to go so I could live it up on Earth for that time but I’d definitely go to die.
I am aware of the radiation and sterility and all that kind of thing, but to be the first on a foreign planet, not a moon, but a planet, that would be amazing.
3:26 That’s where we control human craft??? LOL where is the alians at
It seems like this vehicle is very small and cramped to live in for so much time going into deep space. A vehicle like the space shuttle would have been better, however, if they could have modified the shuttles to last longer and perform better for a longer period of time, then it would have been the vehicle of choice. Although the budget for nasa was cut.
@2346danny I think the emphasis is because there are more robotic (non-human) spacecraft — satelites, mars rovers, deep space research probes like Voyager and MESSENGER and the like — than human spacecraft. The only human spaceflights of the past era was Soyuz and Shuttles.
I wouldn’t know where the non-human mission control is though.
but for all we know our gov already knows about other life and just doesnt tell the public because they dont want us to panic. odds are theres a very good chance that, thats true.
@TEXASUSA45 Give it 50 years :
@Dreamstalkers but who are we to say there is no way they found a way to do that. or we just dont know theres another way to travel. blackholes for instance could be wormholes. and we only look for life that look like us. life very well could be a totally other form

@TEXASUSA45 I would look for asteroid mining first. Much easier to build in zero gravity with material mined off an asteroid than build and have to launch such hugh payloads and break through our atmosphere.
Satelites Los sube nasa
