This artist’s conception shows the Orion spacecraft, foreground, approaching the International Space Station. Orion is remarkably like the Apollo system that took astronauts to the moon almost 40 years ago - it will even be launched from expendable rockets. The avionics will be new, it seats 6 on low earth missions, but does not seem to be a great leap forward in manned space operations, IMHO…
