Moon rocket stacking complete 🥞 Just before midnight on Oct. 21, the Orion spacecraft was secured atop our Space Launch System rocket at NASAKennedy, completing a stack that's 322 feet (98 meters) tall. This rocket and spacecraft are now planned to lift off in February 2022 on the NASAArtemis I mission, an uncrewed flight test that will send Orion thousands of miles beyond the Moon, farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown, over the course of about a three-week mission. In later #Artemis missions, we plan to land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon. We're working towards a long-term lunar presence, and eventually, sending humans to Mars. Credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett #NASA #Orion #SpaceCoast #RocketScience #Space #SLS #Rocket #News #Artemis #Moon
