New Orion Ground Landing Configuration

Well, NASA dropped ground landings from their new Orion capsule, because it was too expensive, but they felt that there was still the need for an emergency gound landing capability (Paid Subscription Required), so as opposed to an air bag collar around the base, they will place a smaller number of air bags on the "corner" of the capsule.


I think that I'll fly Russian, thank you very much.
