Behind-the-Scenes at NASA's Kennedy Space Center NASA's new Orion spacecraft represents a major step towards manned missions to Mars.  For the EFT-1 Exploration Flight Test of NASA's Orion spacecraft last week, 150 people were selected to tour NASA Kennedy Space Center and see the various stages it went through in fabrication, testing, and assembly on its way to launch.  We were also treated to press conference style presentations with Q&A afterwards.   To see the photos, blog posts and articles coming out of NASA's event, search for the hashtags #orion  and #nasasocial  on G+, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.  To the extent that participants post on G+, I just posted a circle of them so you can see their posts. For more of my space photos, you can see my Space album here: https://plus.google.com/photos/+JeffreySullivan/albums/6080853958539592337 I've also uploaded a sequence of photos from the launch itself: https://plus.google.com/photos/+JeffreySullivan/albu...
