There's something very primal about a hot-fire test filled with spitting flames. This may be the most fun you can have outside of an actual rocket launch. NASA shared a video of a key Orion-capsule motor test, and it's a blast to watch.
Orion is designed to carry astronauts to the moon for the space agency's planned 2024 Artemis mission. NASA successfully put Orion's attitude control motor (ACM) through its paces on Tuesday. The motor helps steer the capsule in case of an emergency abort during launch.
