Can the spacecraft Orion had no crew on its first test flight, however video released by NASA actually gives the "astronaut's eye" on the craft's return to our planet earlier this month.
The video provides an insight into the conditions that the spacecraft and astronauts face when returning from deep space.
Among the first data retrieved by Orion during his unmanned test flight on Dec. 5 was the video, which was recorded from the inside of the boat, giving a picture through its windows.
Although much of the video was transmitted down to Earth and shown in real time on NASA TV, it was not available as a whole - however, the public now has the opportunity for a "close look" at the extreme conditions that a spaceship goes through on its return to the planet.
