What is Orion? Orion is NASA’s new spacecraft, built to take humans farther into space than they’ve ever gone before. It will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew and provide a safe return to Earth.

How long would it take to get to Earth from Mars?
between 150-300 days
How long does it take to get to Mars? The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 days depending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target.
Why doesn’t NASA have a rotating space ship?
(Intermediate) Since traveling to Mars or further in zero gravity is unhealthy for the passengers, why doesn’t NASA have a rotating spaceships? Let’s say we two separate sections at a radius of about a 1000 feet with the fuel tank in the middle (the non-rotating part).
Is it possible to build a ship like this on Earth?
You wouldn’t be able to construct a ship like that on Earth. It’d have to be assembled in space. Meaning you’d need a permanent space station in Earth orbit. Furthermore, the design of the ship would have to be “perfect” since even the slightest asymmetries in the mass distribution would be difficult to deal with.
What would it take to build a perfect space ship?
It’d have to be assembled in space. Meaning you’d need a permanent space station in Earth orbit. Furthermore, the design of the ship would have to be “perfect” since even the slightest asymmetries in the mass distribution would be difficult to deal with.
