A Look Inside Orion



Uploaded by: ReelNASA
Video Description:
America will send a new generation of explorers to the moon aboard NASA's Orion crew exploration vehicle. Making its first flights early in the next decade, Orion is part of the Constellation Program to send human explorers back to the moon, and then onward to Mars and other destinations in the solar system. This is a look inside the spacecraft as it continues through the development phase at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Do you have to take your dumps in a plastic bag...like Apollo ? I bet the female astronauts will love pissing all over their shipmates in zero G.

i wonder if a fat person in space can create their own little gravity pull. with the heat and body mass, i wonder if it possible, try a paper clip =D

No Paper.....seriously? The world is in dier need of ideas and NASA figured out they can display text on a computer screen. Well I'm satisfied with the millions of dollars spent on this government program. Hey NASA! You want to turn me upside down? I think I have some change!

I don't understand why there is a five year gap (2010 to 2015) between when they decommission the space shuttles and the Orion goes into use. We are going to buy rides to the space station from the Russians during this time. What if they get pissed at us and decide not to give us any rides???? Also, no paper? That would have worked out great on Apollo 13 when they had to shut down almost everything because of power limitations.

all of these space pods stations, ect always look so cramped, I would love to be in there cuz it feels like a 3d maze, and close spaces make me feel cozy, but it would feel so uncomfortable with so little leg/arm/whatever movement.

Thank you for sharing this video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The gentlemen featured in this vignette have a fun, interesting, and important job. As mankind's next giant leap in space exploration, Project Constellation is off to a better than expected start. The designs for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle and the Ares I booster are underway and proceeding as expected. I am excited about the test flight of the Ares I-X rocket in mid-2009. A great video, thanks for posting it.
Weight is the ... ( 1 month ago by chuckshissle)
Weight is the number one factor when it comes to spacecraft. Weight equals lots of money. It's like $100 for a sneaker bar. So they have to make everything light and compact to minimized costs, not that it's cheap in the first place. In the near future if we discover new type of propulsion or accomplished the very ambitious space elevator, then we can send heavy payloads into orbit and into the outer space.

Solids out liquid/pulse once where there... it wont change in my lifetime im sure... but maybe my kids will find the new propulsion.
Space elevator is a ... ( 4 weeks ago by chuckshissle)
Space elevator is a simple concept but a very huge undertaking. First we need to create a very strong and flexible material, like carbon nanotube, still it's not strong enough but it is improving. Japan is actually competing, and bets that they will do it first. It is a promising technology and I'm hoping to see it before I pass away. For sure we will go back to the moon and establish a base there in two to three decades.

It will be interesting to see it this works. I think the reason Apollo worked was because the software was core rope memory and wasn't able to be damaged by solar flares or gamma rays ? Could you imagine a computer crash on orion. especially in lunar orbit.

It's because the head managers the ones who choose to use Ares I are f---ing morons who can't admit they are wrong.
LM had a great design that made this design look like the POS it is in short blame Griffin and Scott Horiwitz.
Best to put this program out of it's misery and give all the money to COTS.
