JTN: NASA’s Orion space capsule landed Sunday in the Pacific Ocean after traveling 1.4 million miles through space and orbiting the moon during a test flight that is expected to clear the way for a manned lunar flyby mission.
“Orion has splashed down off the coast of Baja, California. Our spacecraft is home,” NASA tweeted on its page for the mission.
The space agency posted a video of the capsule parachuting into the ocean. Orion collected data that NASA plans on using to send astronauts to space and eventually to the moon on Artemis missions in the future. MORE

So?
NASA embraces 20th century space flight technology by parachuting into the ocean.
FIFY
I think the manned/female-manned flight has been grounded. Haven’t heard squat about it in weeks.
I think it was all planned to fail, or more accurately, planned to not even get off the ground. There seems to be something that is blocking all earth powers from sending humans to the moon again. Nobody has been there since the early 1970’s. Something very screwy is going on, I think, but I have no idea what.

If they were even there then.
Now how can ANY one believe we ever went? Look how pitiful this was. 50 + year later! An empty rocket barely orbits the Moon; sending back total shit pictures. Can’t even land properly, drifted off by 100’s of miles.
Maybe someone here knows the answer; was there ever a technical reason why we never sent the space shuttle to the moon?
I should clarify my question ^^^. I meant orbit the moon not land in the moon. It could have carried all kinds of probes to the surface.
I discovered the Moon.

Don’t make me have to come over there and kick your ass!

It needed more paint and paint parts to start that kind of trip.
Tony R,
I don’t think the Shuttle carried enough fuel.

Yes.
