Have you seen these Orion pics?

[holmec]

I recently was looking around and found pics of Orion capsule on the Lockheed site which I haven't seen before. They are high res and show detail on the service module.<br /><br />Lockheed Orion page<br /><br />I thought it was interesting where they are placing the RCS thrusters. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>

Thanks for the link.<br />And here is a nice video simulation, of both launches, and how it all fits together:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0muYrgXpRck&feature=related <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Kind of disappointing. Even in a NASA video, we still hear the engines in a vacuum. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

And who says NASA dosn't practice good PR. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen...and those who do not know what happened.</em></p> </div>

<Kind of disappointing. Even in a NASA video, we still hear the engines in a vacuum. ><br /><br />That made me think of an interesting way to present space flight in a dramatic fashion. You could show the interior of the crew module and the engine sounds the crew could hear, then cutaway to an exterior shot of the Ares I upper stage in vacuum blasting away silently.

Dragon puts the thrusters around the lower sides like that as well.
