Ride up on Artemis

To lift the 5.8-million-pound (2.6-million-kg), 322-foot-high (98-m) Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which is taller than the Statue of Liberty, NASA needed some powerful boosters. In fact, when our #Artemis I mission launched last month, its boosters produced over 8.8 million pounds (3.9 million kgs) of thrust, which is more than 31 times the total thrust of a 747 jet, or roughly equivalent to the force of 13,000 train engines pushing the rocket off of the launch pad.⁣ #Artemis #Moon #NASA
