The first stage will be a test flight, sending the astronauts around the Moon and back home.

The core is being built at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility with the help of Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne.  Once the engines are installed, it will produce more than 2 million pounds of thrust at launch.

The launch is scheduled for late 2024.

Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
