    Orion Capsule Under Testing in Anechoic Chamber

    Three parts of tequila, two parts of triple-sec, one part of lime juice, then shake with ice, and filter. Oh wait, it's just the Orion capsule getting tested for electromagnetic waves. Or something.

    This is the full scale Orion model at the Johnson Space Center's anechoic chamber, where it's body and antennas were recently tested to see how they absorb sound waves and electromagnetic energy as if it was in space.

    And yes, this would make one big badass Margarita. [NASA]
