1. Summary: NASA launched spacecraft, Orion aboard a Delta IV Heavy rocket. Orion's purpose was to test what may happen when NASA sends astronauts to asteroids and eventually, Mars. 
2. Personal Reflection: As a child, outer space has been an interest of mine. I like the thought of being in outer space. I wonder what NASA's definition of "deep space" is because that is where they plan to go.
