Largest Booster Engine ever built. It looks like it might get off the ground.
While the SLS and its huge solid rocket booster, (click here) which NASA calls the most powerful one ever built, aren't scheduled to blast anything into space until 2018, it conducted a successful two-minute horizontal test-firing in Utah on Wednesday. That's the same amount of time the system will fire to lift the SLS toward space, producing 3.6 million pounds of thrust (which, when converted to metric measurements, translates to a whole lot of metric thrust).
I just have one question. Just one. Is NASA sure this rocket is made for human travel because i can only guess how many Gs they are going to pull on lift off?
"No, it wasn't a UFO, it had an American flag on the side."
