NASA testing a SLS Booster Motor today, shown live online at 14:30 UK time.

Burns 6 tons of fuel every second...

I'm told it's nearly as loud as MAF's

Yep saw that just as I typed it! Delayed for technical reason, probably run out of the old Intel 8086 chips now

No, in 11 minutes or so - 3pm BST.



EDIT... Or as Benny says, 4pm BST. Obviously got my clock on GMT. Apologies.

You didn't miss much as it was like having a conversation with you Phil; Lots of noise and hot air, and no point in us trying to speak.
