On Monday, after rolling the SLS rocket to be used for the Artemis II mission to the pad in January, NASA attempted its first wet-dress test with this new vehicle. At one of the main interfaces where liquid hydrogen enters the vehicle, a leak developed, not dissimilar to problems that occurred with the Artemis I rocket three years ago.
The rocket is about to traverse four miles to the launchpad — at about 1 mph.
Floridians may now be able to spot the towering Space Launch System rocket, which will propel four astronauts on a journey around the moon.
Back in 2024, Lego delivered an excellent (and huge) Icons model of the NASA Artemis Space Launch System.

For those people, enter the brand new Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket.
