Default Orion first test flight was perfect!

"KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- Atop the most powerful rocket available, NASA's next generation space capsule Orion blasted off Friday morning against the backdrop of a rising sun at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and later landed with a "bull's-eye splashdown" in the Pacific Ocean."

Nice to see that it went better then expected. Re-entry speed was around 20,000 MPH and Orion got through that just fine!
