The Saturn V was, of course, far more impressive and beautiful. But the Orion is pretty cool. When I was looking at the drawings depicting the various stages of the spacecraft, that Apollo-shaped capsule brought back some deep memories. I was 10 years old when Apollo 11 launched.
A page from the scrapbook I made during the flight of Apollo 11.

Sorry to be pedantic, but Orion is the capsule. The rocket is a Delta IV Heavy.
