HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Ever wonder what an astronaut sees as they return to earth?
A new NASA video from the Orion spacecraft gives you that never-before-seen perspective. The clip provides an astronaut's eye view of re-entry into the earth's atmosphere through Orion's successful splashdown.
NASA plans to one day use Orion for a manned mission to Mars so the perspective may very well be seen by astronauts in the future.
