"NASA's Orion Spacecraft: Unforgettable Moments from Earth to Moon"

TL;DR Summary
NASA has released stunning footage of the Orion spacecraft re-entering Earth's atmosphere during the Artemis 1 mission. The video shows the spacecraft blazing through the atmosphere at over 32 times the speed of sound. Orion, designed to carry up to four crew members, successfully completed its 1.4 million-mile mission around the Moon before returning to Earth. The footage captures the spacecraft's "skip" re-entry process, where it bounces off the atmosphere to allow for more controlled splashdown. NASA plans to test crew aboard Orion in the upcoming Artemis II mission scheduled for November 2024.
