Back to Deep Space

NASA has created the most power vehicle ever made to bring astronauts back to the moon. 
Recently NASA has been sending the most powerful vehicle ever made into space without a crew to test the reliability and safety of the space ship. 

To me, the Artemis Space rocket resembles the Space shuttle system, it even uses RS-25 thrusters. It also has two solid rocket boosters on either side to bring the total thrust pressure up to 4,000 metric tonnes, the most powerful vehicle ever made by mankind. 
The Artemis Space launch system looks like the space shuttle launcher but without the space shuttle attached to it and a large nose cone instead. It has one extra RS-25 thruster, 4 in total.

The space shuttle had 3 RS-25 thrusters, the Artemis launcher has 4 and they're modified to produce more thrust I believe. They work by burning liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen. A computer system can change the flow of the fuel and angle that the thrusters point at to control the stability of the space ship. 

It is a shame they barely mention this in the news. The news keeps going on about heat waves and political scandal and repeating things we already know; "yawn". 

I think they mentioned on the NASA site that the Artemis rocket system will be used indirectly to take astronauts to the planet Mars. I'm not sure what they mean by that. Perhaps it will carry space ship parts to deep space or something like that.
