I don't talk much about what goes on at my office, but here's something I'm finally able to post.
Orion on FOX
Orion on "Aero News"
Orion on BBC
For those of you in FL, it will be on display in Orlando and KSC this week.

i believe it's based very closely on the apollo design. I think they started with the original drawings and even took measurements from one of the ones in a museum since the original files aren't complete. I think the Orion one here is bigger though ... supposed to carry at least 6 people.
Why mess with what worked, eh?
