NASA is building a brand new rocket for the future of human spaceflight. The Space Launch System (SLS) will take astronauts beyond the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit. It will take humans around the Moon and eventually to Mars. Astronaut Christina Koch, who graduated from NASA’s astronaut training program in 2015, helps us examine the SLS rocket in more detail.
