Real Mar­tians Moment: This Stuff Nev­er Gets Old!



[vid_tags]



Corey Har­rell works as an Air Space Engi­neer at NASA’s Mar­shall Space Flight Cen­ter. On a rou­tine basis, he gets to expe­ri­ence, what you might call, “The Big Bang on Earth” and it nev­er gets old! This is also known as test­ing rock­et engines. One engine in par­tic­u­lar, the RS-25 will help pro­vide the “bang” that NASA’s new Space Launch Sys­tem (SLS) Rock­et needs to car­ry astro­nauts far­ther into space than ever before – includ­ing to an aster­oid in orbit around the moon and even­tu­al­ly to Mars. But the most impor­tant part of his job is safe­ty! All of that thrust, pow­er and noise is only fun and use­ful if the prop­er engi­neer­ing and pre­cau­tions are devel­oped and imple­ment­ed. Because, quite lit­er­al­ly there will be a lot more than fun rid­ing on it when these engines are used for the first human mis­sion to Mars!
