Lockheed Martin has been working overtime to get the Orion spacecraft  ready for its first mission, which officials say could be as early as 2013, depending on Congress’ final decision for NASA’s future and budget. Tools and procedures are being checked out to see that they work as advertised for both the spacecraft as well as assembly procedures and manufacturing for building future capsules.

Our future depends on this little spacecraft.  Let's hope it's delivered on time.
