Testing continues at NASA Langley Research Center as the 18,000-pound (8,165 kg) Orion test article took its eight and final splash of the year into the Hydro Impact Basin on Dec. 13. Orion, the next deep space exploration vehicle, will carry astronauts into space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel, and ensure safe re-entry and landing.

The Orion is remarkable and can readjust itself to ensure it doesn't land upside down, which plagued Apollo. But let's not talk about advances in science, let's talk about tree reflections.
