NASA Connects Last of 5 Structures to SLS Rocket Core Stage

[BamaPewPew]

Please let’s light this candle. We’ve waited long enough. They’ve been building this rocket longer then the time from Mercury through Apollo.

Artemis logo animation is on point. Mazel tov whoever came up with it

Rocket of my childhood is complete... It's beautifull when dreams come to reality

How many more years to paint it now xD

Spacex put the pressure to make this 50 second video

[nicholasmaude]

This video is far too short (I mean, come on, 50 seconds!).

Awesome, good job, well get to the moon by 2024

[GabeJChorabik]

After seeing all of these landings and recoveries, what's crazy to think is that we have collectively spent 30 billions dollars for this amazing piece of engineering to be mostly disposed of in the ocean... Recovery team anyone? Dibs on what's left of an engine.

[hokiebama]

not a single person in the comments even caught what just happened in the video. There was ZERO precision alignment tooling to make that fit up happen. How did they get the holes to align so precisely? At 0:16 in video there is a clue.

Now all of a sudden its the private space race but NASA is just tagging along

[CraigLYoung]

Now the real work starts. All that plumbing and electric that needs to be installed.

NASA: Old, slow, and experienced

SpaceX: Fast, new, and ambitious

a lot of people standing around empty handed .. i need a gov job

[ddargel]

I have lost all interest in SLS. What a monster waste of money! I'm a tax payer and I'm not happy with the way that NASA blew its money on this.

[thePronto]

So, a 70's technology rehash is nearing a project milestone. Meanwhile, a re-usable spacecraft that will carry 100 people is being built at a taxpayer cost of $0, and the NASA Administrator is badmouthing that effort. Wow...

[StellarYankee]

Meanwhile Elon already is preparing to fly a prototype of starship. NASA should just cut this Frankenstein crap and buy a few Falcon 9s.

[kjetilhvalstrand]

That’s a lot of bolts, do you really need that many? How about welding it in place.

[thrillchaser]

SpaceX will beat this to the moon why waste the money...oh ya got to feed those government contractors...this is why we haven't been back to the moon

[explor]

Woot billions waisted for nothing. Jim B. the right coward at the right time.
