Orion’s Journey - Part 3: Returning Home

The video explains Orion's journey from leaving the distant retrograde orbit, using the moon's gravity to return to Earth, and safely re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Orion's engines fire to leave the orbit, approach the moon, and then use the moon's gravity to set a course back to Earth. As Orion re-enters the atmosphere, it reaches high temperatures but is protected by a heat shield, ensuring a safe landing in the Pacific Ocean.
