Preparation of the spacecraft 'Orion "for a test flight before heading to the Kennedy Space Center. After a year and a half, "Orion" with no astronauts will have to test the possibility of increasing the speed up to 40 000 km / h, and its orbit is 15 times greater than that of the ISS.
Retouched photo of Mars near Nili Fossae, which was exposed ancient breed, thanks to the fall of the meteorite. It is because of mixing of rock in the fault, and it seems so bright area.
