Blast off to the future! Our Space Launch System (SLS) will be the world’s most powerful rocket and will take humans beyond Earth’s orbit. SLS will launch crews of up to four astronauts in our Orion spacecraft on missions to explore multiple deep-space destinations, including our #JourneyToMars.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration just rolled out the Space Launch System (SLS), an 11-million-pound rocket built to return humans to the moon. 🚀🌕 This powerful launch vehicle will carry the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts around the Moon and beyond Earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17. It took 12 hours to move the rocket just four miles to the launch pad. With over 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, the SLS is NASA’s most powerful rocket to date.
