They're running out of ideas to keep alot of people intrested in space exploring lol...

Damm i wonder how much that'd cost, somewere in the billions no doubt
Now all they need to do is find a way to make it cheaper, and a way round the G-Force effect on the way up.

Well you can say a lot about NASA but they know how to sweet talk you into spending money with cool renderings.

It is unfortunate that they have decided to call it Orion, as Orion is a name that has already been used on an earlier project in nuclear pulsed propulsion.

Hmmm Escillion, I call it that for some reason.

That render was about, hmmm, 30mins- 3 hours (Depends what they use) of work lol... Even for me, they could have done better lol.

It is probably part of an animation showing launch and deployment, etc, and not just a still image.

I'm not sure if those stills appear within them, though.

I read somewhere that it "only" cost 10 mil if you go to Europe. Let me go in the backyard and pluck that off a tree :laugh:
I went to 4 G's before it is not bad at all. It is fun for me anyways.
Mickey nice sig look at the last on in mine and my avatar. V rocks.
