Orion's interior space is equivalent to that of two minivans, NASA says. That's a lot more breathing room than space capsules of the 1960s and '70s.

The U.S. Navy doesn’t have a nuclear-powered carrier available, but the USS John P Murtha is well-suited to the recovery mission of the Orion space capsule

They’ll be itching for a giant leap when this is done. Life onboard Artemis II’s moon-bound spaceship will be a cramped and possibly smelly affair. And it’s not a huge improvement from the last time mankind journeyed into deep space more than 50 years ago.

In this video, we focus on the Saturn V rocket, which launched the Apollo spacecraft into orbit. The video is available in over 20 languages; you can change the audio track language in the Settings menu.

The Return Trajectory Correction burn (RTC-1) will precisely steer the Orion spacecraft toward its Friday splashdown target in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego.
