...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?
