Will NASA ever send/retrieve crews to/from the ISS again? Can Orion do this?

I dig dude's pokular device.

"Are we there yet?"

How long does it take to get to the ISS from launch?

A Russian Soyuz capsule usually takes at least two days to rendezvous with the ISS, because of the carefully timed dance of manoeuvres that must take place for a spaceship to safely meet the orbiting laboratory. Using a new launch process, three astronauts have now made the trip in just under 6 hours.Mar 29, 2013

I figured they'd have to get in the right orbit, and that it would take a few trips around the Earth, but didn't think it would take 2 days! Thanks for the info.

>>8188503
Its more because they want to approach from precisely the right angle and at the right speed so the chances of crashing and fucking up the capsule or the station are as low as possible

>>8188518
which likely has more to do with overly conservative NASA approach rather than any physical necessity.

These things are aesthetic as fuck, when the engines lit and the whole thing shook on the pad MUH DICK

Yes, of course? Although this has nothing or little to do with NASA since its a russian rocket
