This Is NASA's New (and Awesome) Deep Space Rocket

Media_httpfastcachega_dihix

NASA got a new deep space exploration system, the Space Launch System. A new heavy rocket designed to take astronauts well beyond planet Earth's orbit. It's beautiful. It's like the Saturn all over again, but better.

The Space Launch System is designed to carry the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and additional cargo to the Moon and other Solar System destinations. This includes "near-Earth asteroids, Mars and beyond." (my oh-my-god-space-swoon emphasis).
