SLS rocket finally launches on Moon mission

Nasa launched its most powerful rocket in 50 years early Wednesday, sending an uncrewed capsule skyward on a 25-day mission to orbit the Moon and return safely to Earth.

The agency’s Space Launch System rocket, with an Orion capsule perched atop it, cleared its Kennedy Space Center launchpad on the Florida coast just after takeoff at 1:48 a.m. local time, its four main engines and twin solid boosters lighting up the night sky.

Hopefully it doesn't stop there! Total Recall / That one Eddie Murphy movie, here we come!

It must be so satisfying to literally click the button that lights up millions of American tax dollars in seconds... Oh wait, that's Wells Fargo :ROFL: asking for some more government assistance.
