@dexluther It had one. A swinger "Bar" would deploy out of the shuttle in the event of a needed abort. The only problem was you could only use it at a low altitude. In both the Challenger and Colombia, they were simply to high up to allow its deployment.
Just because a tactic is from the 1960s does not necessarily mean it is bad and inefficient. While landing on the ground is more cost effective, having landing engines and a fuel tank in the capsule could make the capsule more expensive the manufacturer, requires the launch vehicle to be more powerful than otherwise, and could compromise the crews safety during reentry.
The Dragon escape system is far safer. With Dragon you only need to abort a few hundred yards away from a chemical explosion. Since Orion is mounted on Ares1 which uses solid rocket fuel, you need to get much further away (miles) to have a chance for the parachute to survive. Also, Dragons escape system can be used all the way to orbit, Orion's cannot. Also the jettison process is added danger, Dragon has no jettison.
Acctualy the russians build leading rocket engines and at the moment the americans are paying the russians to use the soyuz spacecraft to get to the iss. china has manned rockets and so do japan. America doesn't do it better that everyone.
That thing is huge, and looks much more expensive than the dragon 2. It looks as if the never even seen the concepts Elon has made public. People need to learn how to learn from other people even if your not working together.
Joe Schutt . The Dragon 2 is designed for low-Earth orbit and transfer to orbital space stations. The Orion is designed for deep-space exploration. That is the reason for the markedly bulkier and larger design of the Orion. The Dragon abort system is a pusher system. Orion's much greater mass makes a puller system far more efficient and accurate in bringing the capsule away from danger. You are trying to compare apples and oranges. Learn before commenting, for god's sake.
I love it, keep up the great work NASA.
Can't wait to see the launch on Thursday!
Which Thursday
@@Sri_Space This Thursday. SpaceX crew 2 from the cape to the ISS. Hehehe. :)

Hi 10😳😳😳😳😲سنوات
That's awesome!
@kotique Wat about Altair, The lunar lander there making???
Very cool.
@dexluther I guess. But almost any Astronaut of the Shuttle era would say it was NASA's fault. Excessive hubris, they called it.
Fantastc ,evoluch nave for espace !
great stuff
@dcb1138 what are you talking bout ?
@kotique Orion will also launch into orbit if it was not obvious and it will bring people back to the moon
All this complexity, extra mass, and cost. Dragon would just use the landing thrusters.
@waterbender191 - NO WAY....he's my daddy too.....brother.....long lost brother........I can't believe I finally found you !!!
wow were going back to the way it was in the 60's ..we are landing in the ocean again...i dont get it..

much better the escape tower of apollo 11

Right on all counts. :)
Don reed thats my daddy i am so proud of him :)
America!!!
You make me feel even more proud to be american
So cool. This is what you americans can do better than anybody else! Keep on rockin' ... :-)

No mate, wrong . The Russians developed this system decades ago. As always the americans are trying to steal the glory .
@@LlwtyDeer How about now?
'your' should be 'you're'. now, I'm the idiot

I have no idea what you just said or where you are going with this.
You really need to work on your sentence structure.

Too bad the Constellation program was destroyed by Obama. *ANGRY FACE*
Quite a shame it was canceled. I am very glad the SLS and Orion were able to survive
This is NOT an american invented system . Its Russian !
Just kidding you
