Orion space capsule.

What do you guys think about Orion? It has been on the space orientated news sites a lot lately.
NASA wants to send it on a mission to the moon for a single fly by test orbit, then back again.
It will only have a crew of some dummies, with sensors on them recording crew survivability data.
And some radiation readings on NASA's new space suits, which by the way, are a new type of polymer.
And not nearly as bulky. While going nearly twice the speed of Apollo.

It does look more comfortable and mobile. Its first test will be on the ISS. One astronaut mentioned
its about time something was done about this.
