NASA's Space Launch System, a giant orange rocket with twin white boosters on each side and the white Orion spacecraft on top, rolls out of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. This photo was taken from ground level looking sharply up at the rocket, which is standing on top of a large, square, dark gray transporter and is partially tucked behind a tall, light gray mobile launcher with countless tubes and wires.
