This morning at 7:05 a.m. from Cape Canaveral, Florida, NASA successfully launched its new Orion spacecraft (pictured) on a mission that the US space agency hopes will foreshadow the first human expedition to Mars. The unmanned Orion capsule rose into clear skies on a four and a half hour test mission that could have huge implications on a plan that could have manned flights headed to Mars in the next 15 to 20 years.

The report also does not identify a clear motive for the lane closures, which snarled traffic in Fort Lee over the course of four days. The report describes the closures as â€œdirectly implementedâ€ by Bridget Anne Kelly, the now-fired Christie aide who wrote an email in August 2013 calling for â€œtraffic problems in Fort Lee.â€

Upper Darby police are searching for a man they are calling an "animal." He's accused of sexual assault on a 12-year-old girl. Police say the accused attacker has a long history of trouble.
