NASA’s Super Guppy can carry over 26 tons worth of cargo and is often used by NASA to ferry large components around the country that would take too long (or be impossible) to ship by land or by sea. The Orion took a ride in it.
The Orion spacecraft, although not yet complete, is already precious cargo. The human-rated spacecraft is a crucial part of NASA’s mission to bring humans to Mars. Eventually, Orion will carry 4 astronauts and launch on top of NASA’s rocket-in-the-making, the Space Launch System (SLS).
This is a really weird looking plane.
