The Orion Spacecraft is the Future of Deep Space Travel

1. pointless, what will this prove?
2. Have you heard of The Van Allen Belts? Ask NASA if any human been has been able to go across them...
   
   the answer is no. so if NO human has been able to go even near them due to their extreme radiation and because is very, VERY harmful to humans, then why on Earth people still believe any human been landed on the moon. If the Radiation Belts surrounds the whole earth.
   
   They lied to us!
3. Think about it folks .. Using only slide rules and house size computers with less computing power then your smartphones, the NASA of yesterday designed, built and flew the mercury, gemini and apollo manned spacecraft. This all happened in less time then the NASA of today is trying to launch the first manned Orion flight. Shame on the NASA of today!
4. so its soyuz for 4 people ...... how its futuristic .....
5. Im not impressed.
   
   Because ive seen to many star trek movies.
6. I wish every country that could afford it should all work together kinda like how we are but it should be one idea 💡 rather ten different ones and we should go full steam ahead rather than the US and EU building a space station Russia had some things to and now China doing its own thing! Also India is doing its own things and we're all over the board let's work together pick what's most important and in nike's words JUST DO IT!
7. We could have a station on the moon and send a rocket from the moon to mars and build a station on mars and launch from there and so on and on
8. TR3B, secret space programme. this is just a public cover for what's really going on.
9. I think we should think about a different Orion. Instead of chemical energy, let's use thermal or electrical energy to power a spaceship. In the 1950s and 60s, there was project Orion that uses thousands of nuclear bombs to propel the spaceship across the solar system, but is not safe to be used. Another design uses a nuclear reactor, this is similar to a nuclear submarine, but the reactor powers an plasma ion engines or superhot hydrogen engine rather then a propeller.
10. yes
11. Well then it's REALLY hard to walk
12. Yeeeereeeeeeeereers
13. Yes
14. Theoritically the Nuclear pulse propulsion is the best human's have figured out 40 years ago. It would take just 1 week with 60ton load to reach mars with it.
    So Orion is just a juvenile project to waste tax dollars.
    
    The obstacles that have to be overcome for NPP to take of is
    Political
    Test ban treaty renegotiation
    Environmental groups...
15. Send probes they're cheaper.
    Build a space hotel.
16. Orion is great!
    
    But the rocket that will launch it sucks.
17. I'm thrilled that we're going back out but there's gotta be a better way. Our current way is like going to work in your car to return home with only a seat that could possibly be reused tomorrow.
18. Sort of reinventing the wheel, we should explore new technology
19. The orion is great but we need habitable pods for the surface
20. i think that heat superresistor plated circular wingspan should be tested so astronats can control their descent instead of a potshot.
