BBC tours Orion spacecraft model ahead of Artemis II return

The Artemis II crew is scheduled to return to Earth on 10 April aboard the Orion spacecraft. At Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, BBC got a tour of a model of the Orion spacecraft.

Upon re-entry, the bottom of the shield will experience the hottest temperatures on Earth and it travel about 25,000 mph and endure temperatures of nearly 5,000F (2,760C) — about half as hot as the Sun.
