NASA Completes Space Launch System Design Review:

Well, that’s it folks. The extensive and complicated review process NASA had to undergo is over and they’ll move into “cutting metal and fabricating”.

What does this mean? It means that NASA is going back to space and they’ll definitely be doing it on this rocket.

So what’s the big deal with this rocket exactly?

The Space Launch System is going to be the most powerful launch vehicle ever made and will be the first exploration class vehicle NASA’s made since the Apollo era.

The rocket will be the size of a small skyscraper: 320.9 feet in height.

Could we go to Mars on it?

Yes. In fact that’s the ultimate goal of the program.

It will also likely take astronauts back to the Moon, to asteroids, the moons of other planets etc.

The first launch will be in 2018, without astronauts, to complete final tests and make sure it’s ready to carry humans into space.

The new era of human exploration and discovery is finally before us.
