1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,655
And just like that, here we
 go. Welcome to SLS Trivia Live.

2
00:00:05,655 --> 00:00:10,193
Well, recorded live where we are
perfectly positioned to test

3
00:00:10,193 --> 00:00:12,996
your knowledge about America's
deep-space rocket

4
00:00:12,996 --> 00:00:16,733
the most powerful rocket ever built
the rocket that will enable a

5
00:00:16,733 --> 00:00:21,304
new era of space exploration - 
the Space Launch System!

6
00:00:21,304 --> 00:00:23,140
I'm your host, Kevin O'Brien

7
00:00:23,140 --> 00:00:26,076
the Scott Kelly to your
Scott Rogowsky

8
00:00:26,076 --> 00:00:28,412
the Neil Armstrong to your
Neil Patrick Harris

9
00:00:28,412 --> 00:00:32,482
and the Sally Ride to your
Sally Jessy Raphael.

10
00:00:32,482 --> 00:00:33,550
Let's get started

11
00:00:33,550 --> 00:00:35,552
[Rocket Rumble]

12
00:00:35,552 --> 00:00:40,390
It's one small step for a man
one giant leap for trivia fans

13
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:42,225
Now that looks beautiful

14
00:00:42,225 --> 00:00:46,029
Some traveling music maestro
and away we go

15
00:00:46,029 --> 00:00:48,865
qumero numero uno

16
00:00:48,865 --> 00:00:52,302
SLS on its first flight
Exploration Mission One

17
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:55,338
will send what uncrewed
spacecraft thousands of miles

18
00:00:55,338 --> 00:00:58,475
beyond the moon before its
safe return back to Earth?

19
00:00:58,475 --> 00:01:00,677
Is it Juno

20
00:01:00,677 --> 00:01:01,912
Orion

21
00:01:01,912 --> 00:01:03,947
or the USS Enterprise

22
00:01:03,947 --> 00:01:10,554
♪♪♪♪

23
00:01:10,554 --> 00:01:15,025
Well, NASA's Juno mission
launched in 2011 and

24
00:01:15,025 --> 00:01:18,361
is currently in orbit around
and studying the composition

25
00:01:18,361 --> 00:01:20,430
of the great gas giant Jupiter.

26
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:23,300
The Enterprise, of course,
is from Star Trek

27
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:27,471
And SLS will launch NASA's
Orion spacecraft!

28
00:01:27,471 --> 00:01:30,941
That's right Orion is being
specially built to take humans

29
00:01:30,941 --> 00:01:32,943
farther than we've
ever gone before

30
00:01:32,943 --> 00:01:35,612
to the Moon, Mars and beyond!

31
00:01:35,612 --> 00:01:38,682
SLS is the only rocket
that can launch Orion

32
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:42,552
and large cargo to the
Moon in a single launch.

33
00:01:42,552 --> 00:01:43,954
True story.

34
00:01:43,954 --> 00:01:49,292
Question two in three, two, one liftoff!

35
00:01:49,292 --> 00:01:52,729
From where will SLS launch,
which American state?

36
00:01:52,729 --> 00:01:53,663
Texas

37
00:01:53,663 --> 00:01:54,664
California

38
00:01:54,664 --> 00:01:55,899
or Florida

39
00:01:55,899 --> 00:01:58,702
All three are known for their
beautiful beaches and

40
00:01:58,702 --> 00:02:01,471
prominent NASA centers,
but which state will see

41
00:02:01,471 --> 00:02:03,707
the launch of the world's
most powerful rocket?

42
00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:07,677
California is home to three
NASA centers, including

43
00:02:07,677 --> 00:02:09,980
Ames, Armstrong and JPL

44
00:02:09,980 --> 00:02:12,482
and NASA's world famous
Johnson Space Center

45
00:02:12,482 --> 00:02:15,152
is located in the Lone Star
State of Texas

46
00:02:15,152 --> 00:02:18,155
but SLS will in fact launch
from the nation’s

47
00:02:18,155 --> 00:02:21,858
premier multi-user spaceport
the Kennedy Space Center

48
00:02:21,858 --> 00:02:24,895
in sunny Florida, the
sunshine state.

49
00:02:24,895 --> 00:02:26,897
Q3

50
00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:29,499
How much thrust will the
SLS rocket generate

51
00:02:29,499 --> 00:02:31,401
during liftoff and ascent?

52
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:33,336
8.8 million pounds

53
00:02:33,336 --> 00:02:35,772
7.5 million pounds

54
00:02:35,772 --> 00:02:37,507
or 5 million pounds

55
00:02:37,507 --> 00:02:40,677
The force generated to get
a rocket off the ground

56
00:02:40,677 --> 00:02:43,813
or thrust must be sufficient
to overcome the weight

57
00:02:43,813 --> 00:02:45,715
of the rocket and its payload.

58
00:02:45,715 --> 00:02:48,685
To get massive payloads and
astronauts into space

59
00:02:48,685 --> 00:02:52,155
SLS will generate a lot of thrust.

60
00:02:52,155 --> 00:02:54,591
Propelled by a pair of
solid rocket boosters

61
00:02:54,591 --> 00:03:00,764
and four RS-25 engines, SLS
will generate 8.8 million pounds

62
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:03,066
of thrust during liftoff
and ascent!

63
00:03:03,066 --> 00:03:06,469
That's more than the
Apollo-era Saturn V rocket!

64
00:03:06,469 --> 00:03:10,473
And there you have it! Our
first SLS Trivia is in the books!

65
00:03:10,473 --> 00:03:13,109
How'd you do?
Let us know in the comments.

00:03:13,109 --> 00:03:16,079
Share with your friends and join us
next week for another round

67
00:03:16,079 --> 00:03:18,949
and three more questions
to test your knowledge

68
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:22,219
of America's deep-space rocket,
the Space Launch System.
