First Look Out Orion’s Window 780 Miles Above Earth VIDEO

A first look out Orion’s port window 780 miles from Earth, breaking Earth’s low orbit. First time for NASA in 47 years to be this far from Earth.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.
