NASA's new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and moon landing program will be called "Orion".
The space agency hasn't yet announced the name, but a logo bearing the title has now been seen in a NASA internal document that labels the insignia as "approved".The triangular logo, which could be meant to resemble the shape of the new crewed capsule, has a blue background and white stars that are arranged to form the constellation Orion
Under Project Orion, NASA plans to launch crews of four to six astronauts aboard Orion capsules, first to orbit the Earth and the International Space Station and then later to the Moon.

Finally a re-make of the 1969 bogus moon landing.
Orion rhymes with "We're Ly-in"
With today's special effects, Orion will probably be much more convincing than the low-budget 1969 Apollo version.
