NASA’s Space Launch System will be the most powerful rocket ever built and will help send humans to deep space destinations like an asteroid and Mars. SLS is an advanced, heavy-lift launch vehicle that will provide an entirely new capability for science and human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. The SLS will give the nation a means to reach beyond our current limits and open new doors of discovery from the unique vantage point of space.
NASA has released the first of a new series of videos about the Space Launch System. In the video, host Stephen Grenade discusses how SLS will be the most capable rocket ever built for a trip to the Red Planet and other destinations in the solar system.
Future episodes will be available online. Keep an eye on the NASA SLS Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NASASLS/) and NASA SLS Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NASA_SLS) for updates.
