NASA Orion Question

Do they re-use the capsule tested for the next flight or do they build new one prior to each flight?

I'll add to that question:
Why is there even a return capsule? If we launch your arse into deep space are you really coming home?
I'll hang up and listen.

This thread already blew my mind.

The Orion MCV will be reusable.

The Orion capsules are supposed to be reusable. Whether they do so for the test article remains to be seen. I believe it wasn't a "complete" capsule, in other words not people ready.

They re-use a large portion of the capsule, but the underbelly thermal protection system must be taken off after a re-entry and re-installed with a new coating for each subsequent flight.

The next test flight will use a new spacecraft.

They are reusable. There is more than one (for testing purposes) although there is only one complete model. They are crafted at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans by the best friction stir welders on earth

I'll add a question. You land on Mars and put astronauts there. How do they get off of Mars? Do they erect a launch pad on Mars somehow?
I know how we did it during the Apollo years but I'm sure Mars has more gravity than the moon.
