NASA Highlights Its Powerful Rocket that will go to the Moon and Beyond

On Monday, Dec. 9, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine showed off the Space Launch System's 212-foot-tall rocket core stage that will send our first Artemis mission to space. The core stage, built at America’s “Rocket Factory” – NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility – in New Orleans, is the largest we have produced since the Apollo Program.

The milestone marks a new chapter in the Artemis story as we work to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon by 2024.
