NASA and DARPA announced a collaboration to demonstrate a working nuclear thermal rocket by 2027 with the goal of sending humans to Mars as quickly as possible.

The White House on Friday released a budget blueprint that signals major shake-ups at NASA, as part of an effort to axe $163 billion in federal spending.

A budget proposal released on May 2 includes not only cuts to NASA's science budget, but an early end to its SLS moon rocket.

The 156-foot-long five-segment solid rocket motor produced upwards of 4 million pounds of thrust during the test.

This is the story of NASA's Ares-class super-heavy lift vehicle. Before SLS, this was the booster rocket slated to bring humanity back beyond low-Earth orbit.

NASA and DARPA’s timeline of a 2027 in-space test gives these agencies plenty of wiggle room to fine tune the rocket technology ahead of the planned, crewed mission to Mars in the late 2030s.

The blueprint also proposes phasing out the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft that NASA was developing to return astronauts to the moon, ending the program after only two more flights.
