Yes, but does it give glory to Muslims?

When you’re on Mars, it’s a heck of a lot easier to figure out which way is Mecca during daily prayers...

I am certain this rocket, if it is ever built, will not match the engineering of the Saturn V moon rocket developed 50 years ago.

For that first flight test, the rocket will be able to launch 70 metric tons (77 tons) of payload into low-Earth orbit, almost three times what the space shuttle could carry.

The orbiter itself was over 80 metric tons.

Can’t wait to see a test launch failure on that bad boy.

NASA may very well be out of the space business but they still sure do know how to make them purty rocket pictures.

They start launching that baby and you will have a couple million spectators rushing to see it lunched, and the Saturn V was heard, and felt when it launched a LONG ways away.

Designed to enable human exploration missions to deep space destinations, including an asteroid and Mars, SLS is working toward a first launch in 2017.

This is NASA. The first launch will be at least 3 years behind schedule and a minimum of $100 billion over budget.

Why not just build a “re-usable” larger shuttle with the same capacity planned for this rocket?

Re-entry & weight???
