Headed for two orbits of planet Earth and a splashdown in the Pacific, Orion blazed into the early morning sky on Friday at 7:05am ET. The spacecraft was launched atop a United Launch Aliance Delta IV Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Its first voyage into space on an uncrewed flight test, the Orion traveled some 3,600 miles from Earth, about 15 times higher than the orbital altitude of the International Space Station. In fact, Orion traveled farther into space than any spacecraft designed for astronauts since the Apollo missions to the Moon. The Orion crew module reached speeds of 20,000 miles per hour and temperatures approaching 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere about 4.5 hours after launch. via NASA ift.tt/12L9dSM

The entrance to the Launch Control Center. It has a formidable fence in the background. Most of the formidable part is to keep out the alligators. NASA doesn't have regular security concerns.
The #FAILBETTER launch party was a perspective-shifting exploration of the epic and inspirational failures that make up the exhibition, which features contributions from all walks of life, including famous explorers, inventors, scientists, and athletes. Guests were the first to see the exhibition, taste Michelin-starred chef Kevin Thornton's take on 'failed recipes', screen-print their own posters, and enjoy some of music's finest failures and one-hit wonders from DJ Anthony Remedy. Now it's time to use the F-word: share your take on failure with the tag #FAILBETTER. Visit sciencegallery.com/failbetter for more information. #FAILBETTER runs until 27th April 2014.
