a little hit, it puts them into a totally different perspective where they can say, wait a minute, that person is just like they can say, wait a minute, that person isjust like me and they they can say, wait a minute, that person is just like me and they did it, so i can do it as well. preparations are already under way forfuture missions preparations are already under way for future missions with preparations are already under way forfuture missions with new preparations are already under way for future missions with new crew and is being built. we can have a look inside orion s capsule to see what it will be likely astronauts when the rocket eventually does have a crew. at five metres wide, that is more than 15 feet, it is big. it can accommodate four people inside. in fact, there is more than twice as much room as the apollo astronauts had for their missions to the moon in the 19605 and 705. then finally, after travelling more than 1 in the 19605 and 705. then finally, after travell
of a key stage of an ambitious programme. after a million mile journey through space, our blue planet comes into view. it s time for the orion spacecraft to come home. with images taken from the capsule just after it entered the earth s atmosphere, orion has travelled faster and hotter than any space vehicle has done before. ground control: spacecraft about to go subsonic. - a series of parachutes open, rapidly slowing the capsule down. three good main chutes for orion, and there it is, high over the pacific, america s new ticket to ride to the moon and beyond now in view. then splashdown, the artemis mission is complete. from tranquility base to taurus littrow to the tranquil waters of the pacific, the latest chapter of nasa s journey to the moon comes to a close. we are adventurers, we are explorers, we always have a frontier, and that frontier is now to continue exploring the heavens.

to some amazing like the. exploration is not going away. humans have been exploring the earth for as long as humans have been on the earth and we re going to continue exploring deep space. preparations are already under way for the next mission with new crew capsules being built. we can have a look inside orion s capsule to see what it s going to be like for the astronauts when the rocket eventually does have a crew. at five metres wide, that s more than 15 feet, it is big. it can accommodate four people inside. in fact, there is more than twice as much room as the apollo astronauts had for their missions to the moon in the 1960s and 70s. roger on that. we leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return. today marks exactly 50 years since the last lunar landing by apollo 17. their footprints are still imprinted in the dust. no one thought it would take so long to return but now others may soon be making
