NASA reveals details about the super rocket that will take humans to Mars.

Images recently revealed by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of a giant fuel tank and a simulation of a super rocket show significant progress in their plan to establish a human base on Mars.

Mars spacecraft and many other future space travel vessels are expected to leave Earth thanks to the super-powerful thrust of Earth.Space Launch System (SLS), a massive and powerful rocket, uses four RS-25 engines, providing 15% more thrust than NASA's renowned Saturn V rocket, the device that launched some of the most famous spacecraft from Earth.

Another part of the rocket is being manufactured in NASA's workshop.

In photos of NASA's factory, a cylindrical device, as large as a skyscraper, has been revealed. This 61-meter-tall cylinder is actually just the fuel tank for the SLS super rocket. This enormous tank holds 2,033 liters of liquid hydrogen, providing up to 8.8 million pounds of thrust, equivalent to 3,992 tons.

The Kennedy Space Center was flooded with water after a test, as the rocket system required more than 1,700 liters of water during ignition and liftoff.

According to NASA, this fuel delivery system is still being tested at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

The entire SLS rocket system is expected to be preliminarily completed and undergo its first test in 2020, launching a 70-ton Orion spacecraft carrying four astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center. Orion will have to surpass the record of all previous Apollo spacecraft by reaching a point 442,570 km from Earth during its 22-day mission.
