One orbit almost complete and preparing to move to elliptical orbit!

Seems a little underachieverish... Two orbits after Rosetta's billions of kilometers and all. Still, you can't help but like where they are going with an MPCV.

It's a flight test...

Yeah, I know. I pointed out I'm really excited about where they're going with crew vehicles and, eventually, the spin-off from Orion will probably be more awesome than Rosetta... Right now 'tho I can't help comparing them.
