Deep-space capsule Orion has brought man one step closer to landing on Mars after Nasa dubbed its test mission the "most perfect flight you can imagine".
The unmanned spacecraft completed its four hour test flight 3,600 miles above the planet before landing in the Pacific Ocean.
When astronauts eventually take on the mission for real it could take up to three years to complete a round-trip.
NASA has released a video explaining how its engineers will rescue the Orion space-craft from the Pacific Ocean.
A delicate operation using inflatables and a special recovery ship will be carried out to protect the craft, in particular its heat shield, in a bid to ensure engineers can get as much useful information from it as possible.
