A full-size mockup of NASA's Orion crew exploration vehicle, targeted to begin carrying humans to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015, is displayed on the National Mall in Washington on March 30, 2009. The Orion will ride the Ares I rocket into space and is part of the Constellation Program which is intended to carry humans to the moon, mars, ISS and beyond.
