...to me right now.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past couple years, NASA has been developing the next generation of human space travel.
Today is a great day for the entire world, a step towards exploring farther places then we've thought before. NASA's "space ship", Orion, completed it's first flight and touchdown today without a hitch, reaching 3,600 miles above the Earth. Now even though this is just a test, it's a test that worked. It's a test that says, hey, maybe we will be walking on Mars one day. Maybe we will be taking vacations to the moon in the future.

I just wanted to interrupt the daily shitposting precession here to bring you some actual good news, thoughts on Orion and the next step of human space travel?

It seems like a lot of different groups are trying to push space techonology and how far we can reach. It's starting to become very fun to watch all these different groups advance. The future is exciting.
