Orion performed perfectly!

Here is a link to the official orion blog: https://blogs.nasa.gov/orion/ 


It sounds like the liftoff, orbit, travel through the Van Allen belts, and reentry all went without a hitch!  NASA is reporting no significant issues and a "text book" test flight.


Reentry was at 20,000 mph with an 8g deacceleration.  If I have the position right it is now about 2,000 miles east of us in the Pacific.  

Okay, so lets get some people on board and start doing some laps around the moon and back!
