Astrochimp

The new Orion space ship is going to bring Astronauts back to the moon. The design is based heavily on 1950s Apollo mission designs fromthe Saturn V rocket to the capsule and landing module. NASA picked the design over other basically because it has a better safety track record since it works no matter what fails. Even though the design is retro, the Orion will feature new technology that will make Buzz Aldrin jealous.
