Here’s a little NASA news for your purview.
This is about the Orion Pad Abort System. Good shit.
Orion Pad Abort 1 Test a Spectacular Success
NASA conducted a spectacular though brief flight test of the Orion Launch Abort System early Thursday morning at the U.S. Army’s White Sands Missile Range near Las Cruces, N.M.
The 500,000-lb. thrust abort motor rocketed the boilerplate crew module and its launch abort stack away from launch pad 32E at White Sands on time at 7 a.m. MDT, and initial indications that all systems for steering, separation, stabilization, deployment of the parachutes and landing worked perfectly.
