NASA’s next-generation Space Launch System rocket has exited the Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building and is now inching its way toward the launchpad for the first time.
The SLS rocket, topped with the Orion spacecraft, emerged from the assembly building at just after 5:45 p.m ET on Thursday, March 17, carried by NASA’s workhorse Crawler Transporter-2 vehicle.
