Keep in mind, low-Earth orbit is considered to be between 160-2,000 km (99-1200 miles), and by NASA’s own admission, the moon (which astronauts allegedly landed on in the late 60’s-70’s) is estimated to be ~384,000 km (238,855 miles).
3:37 – 3:50: “But we’re also really pushing the boundaries in terms of where we’re going forward with exploration. I think, uh, humans are naturally driven to do this, and this is really the beginning, I think, of human beings leaving low-Earth orbit.“

4:08 – 4:51: “The plan that NASA has is to build a rocket called SOS, which is a heavy-lift rocket. It’s something that is, that is much bigger than what we have today, and it will be able to launch the Orion capsule with humans on board, as well as landers or other components to destinations beyond Earth orbit.
Right now, we only can fly in Earth orbit. That’s the farthest that we can go. And this new system that we’re building is going to allow us to go beyond, and hopefully take humans into the solar system to explore, so- the moon, Mars, asteroids, there’s a lot of destinations that we could go to and we’re building these building block components in order to allow us to do that eventually.“
