  • Nasa has tested one of the boosters for the Space Launch System in Utah
  • That static-fire test took place at 3:30pm GMT and lasted 126 seconds
  • The 3.6 million pounds of thrust produced temperatures of 2,500°C
  • When SLS eventually flies, two of these boosters will be used
  • The rocket is being designed to take astronauts to Mars in the 2030s

Figured I would add to this. NASA tests all it's liquid-fueled rocket engines at the Stennis Space Center about 30 miles from me in southern Mississippi. Recently, the first test of the modified liquid-fueled main space shuttle engines for the SLS was conducted at the 13,500 acre facility. To account for noise, the facility is surrounded by a 125,000 acre acoustical buffer zone. Included here is a link to the test article as well as a video.

I turned my 5.1 up to 7 and watched the whole thing............monumental. :toast:
thank you for the links as well.

Coincidentally, 30 miles from here is where they extracted the monoliths for Stonehenge. Both are amazing testaments to human ingenuity.
