NASA will fly the biggest rocket ever by November, 2018. August 30, 2014 2:24 pm bowser

400 feet high. The first test flight will take an Orion capsule out of low Earth orbit. $7 billion spent on it between 2014 and 2018. Could carry men to asteroids or Mars.

I’d like to see that launch.

I wonder how frequent those launches will be by mcfly 2014-09-02 14:39:08
Nice, but I'd bet money the costs will rise and the launch date will slip. by BuckGalaxy 2014-09-01 19:54:28
