NASA's Space Launch System.



NASA is currently in a jacked up state and it hurts to say that because the retired Marine General in charge of the place was one of those straight shooters that I admired.  How things change with politics and a boss that doesn't care about American exceptionalism.  Anyway, one of the programs that NASA is supposedly pursuing is the Space Launch System.  I hadn't heard about it but its Saturn V on steroids.  Check it out here and here.

    That animation's been out there for at least 3 years. The launch of the SLS program pre-dates it. It started under GWB and survived Obama's reorganisation of NASA's objectives.
