Why is the spacecraft called Orion?

The spacecraft is called Orion after the prominent constellation, which is named after a hunter in Greek mythology. The name signifies exploration and adventure, aligning with NASA's mission to explore deep space, including potential missions to the Moon and Mars. Orion is designed to carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit, symbolizing humanity's quest to venture into the unknown, much like the mythical hunter's pursuit in the night sky.
