The article is about NASA's new Orion - which looks a little like apollo. But the author of this article apparently did a good search for Orion and came up with the attached image. It's a picture of the Orion interplanetary spacecraft from the study done in the '60s. It's a picture of a nuclear powered spacecraft. heh.
