"Orion will take humans farther than we've ever been before, and in just about a year we're going to send the Orion test vehicle into space," said Dan Dumbacher, NASA's deputy associate administrator for exploration systems development in Washington. "The work we're doing now, the momentum we're building, is going to carry us on our first trip to an asteroid and eventually to Mars. No other vehicle currently being built can do that, but Orion will, and EFT-1 is the first step."

I guess I'm old school that way, but wasn't Orion at one point the nuclear propulsion project?  Naming this current project Orion is bound to cause some confusion...

Nonetheless, any progress on the manned spaceflight front still gets me excited!

Doesn't say if it is reusable. Not that it is all that important. What's important is the total cost per mission. The STS was far more expensive per mission then Apollo even though it was reusable. Apples and oranges I know. But I'm still curious if this craft is reusable.
