Two unmanned orbits. Not even a monkey on-http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/05/tech/innovation/nasa-orion-launch/index.html?hpt=hp_t2. NASA devolves by 50-odd years.

Oh, come now. Apollo 4 took place in 1967 - the craft is comparable to the

I'm sure you're really pleased that the service module will be provided by

They could've have sent peterson; it's hard to tell the difference and there's no point in risking a monkey.
