Two days after and 42 years before NASA’s first Orion flew 3,604 miles out into space, the agency’s last mission to the moon, Apollo 17, soared past the same distance. A first, small step for the new space capsule, NASA’s Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 lasted just 4 hours and 24 minutes, but offered a glimpse at things to come. Here, in 24 photographs, is a look back at EFT-1, from the launch to orbit to ocean splashdown.
