NASA and Eddie Vedder simply made a weirdly inspiring rocket music video

NASA simply offered its new megarocket to the world.

To acknowledge the completion of the world’s strongest rocket — and the primary time the house company hauled the 322-foot-tall behemoth to its Kennedy Area Middle launchpad — NASA collaborated with Pearl Jam rocker Eddie Vedder to make a music video in regards to the looming 2022 launch.

It is a hovering rock tune set to an animated montage of the rocket, referred to as the Area Launch System (SLS), blasting into house and orbiting the moon.

“The Area Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft – the one human-rated spacecraft on the earth able to deep-space journey – are deliberate to elevate off from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Area Middle for the uncrewed Artemis I mission across the Moon,” NASA wrote. “By way of the Artemis missions, NASA will land the primary girl and the primary individual of shade on the Moon, paving the way in which for a long-term lunar presence, and serving as a steppingstone on the way in which to Mars.”

If all goes as deliberate, the house company will observe fueling the rocket and counting down for launch on April 3. Then, as early as Might 2022, the rocket’s first uncrewed mission across the moon (referred to as Artemis-1) will launch into house from the Kennedy Area Middle.

Ultimately, the Orion spacecraft, which sits atop the SLS rocket, might carry astronauts to the distant pink planet, Mars.
