We took those and we put them together into a system that had enough energy to make sense to do the mission that we’ve been asked to do to. It’s 322 feet tall. It’s got 700,000 gallons of cryogenic propellant in the core stage alone. It can produce 8.8 million pounds of vacuum thrust.We have worked with contractors as well as with our NASA experts, our science and engineering department, and our safety and mission assurance team.
It takes all types of education, all types of backgrounds, all types of diversity to do the things we do, and it’ll be great to see a diverse crew land on the moon.
