About 1 minute into this 4 minute video NASA switches over to a downward facing camera on the body of the spacecraft, and you eventually see the earth come into view! Awesome!

BTW, look closely ------ at 1:38 we begin to see the JJ self-supporting tower to the Northeast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hn8qnsucwo&list=PLiuUQ9asub3RHqKdK_XZSZ8I_981UPhvX&index=1 T Title: Re: Orion Spacecraft Launch Post by: KB2WIG on December 05, 2014, 01:21:35 PM " Very cool - onward to Mars.

Just about ~40 years too late. I checked out the time line.... about 16 more years before 'they' try a Mars launch. 66 years between kitty Hawk and old Neil walking on the Moon. Around 60 years between Neil and someone walking on Mars?? klc Title: Re: Orion Spacecraft Launch Post by: KX5JT on December 05, 2014, 11:23:38 PM distance to moon = 238,900 miles
distance to mars = 33,000,000 to 63,000,00 miles (depending on date) Title: Re: Orion Spacecraft Launch Post by: N4zed on December 06, 2014, 07:50:12 AM WOW ! That's one big stinking tower ! ;) AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
