SLS (Space Launch System) - Our Next Ride

For some time, NASA has been looking beyond single-entity space transportation programs.  Our future in space has never been more secure or exciting.  Over the last half century NASA was the sole entity to design our entire space program by wading ankle deep in the ocean that is our corner of the universe.  With the knowledge and experience gained through risk and expenditure, it is time to pay huge dividend to the investors.  We are now for the first time in history, launching privately designed and built large scale space vehicles successfully.  There are many corporations contending to provide commercial space transportation for NASA as well as for those private citizens with means and will to rise above the Earth's atmosphere for that rare glimpse at our home planet. 

 

NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) is the new protocol for the American Space Program.  By sharing several decades' worth of essential and invaluable scientific data along with expertise and oversight, NASA is laying the foundation for a thriving aerospace industry and providing a great boost to our morale and economy.  The SLS is an elaborate approach to lifting crew and cargo into the sky in a way that is safe, economical, and with greater options and flexibility.  In this presentation you'll gain some insight into the future of space travel and understand how our traditional means of exploration are now history.
