Join us LIVE from NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the 2nd Wet Dress Rehearsal of Artemis II; one of the final tests ahead of launch!! During the rehearsal, teams will load more than 700,000 gallons of cryogenic propellants into the rocket, conduct a launch countdown, and practice safely removing propellant from the rocket without astronauts inside the spacecraft. #NASA #ArtemisII #SLS #WDR #Orion #SpaceNews #Artemis | The Launch Pad

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.

We have never been more ready to meet the unknown. Team members from our #Artemis program share the risks and rewards of this next era of exploration as we prepare for missions to the Moon and Mars. Watch: https://go.nasa.gov/33H6E3o | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
