NASA has announced that it will "wet Test" the massive SLS system this week. It is currently being held in the Vehicle Assembly Building, and will begin the roll out to the launch pad with in a few hours. After it reaches the pad, it will be filled with liquid fuels and "wet tests" will begin.
The SLS and Orion capsule is the largest rocket ever to be assembled, standing some 365 feet into the air.

Nasa expects to launch SLS sometime in May or June of this year. Then several trans-lunar flights will begin sans astronauts. The 1st MANNED flight to the moon, is not expected until mid 2024-2025. That flight will land a team of astronauts on the moon.

Those of you who are in great health, will live to see a permanently manned moon colony. :)
Unfortunately for me, I'll not live to see it. I sure would love to still be around to see a permanent moon colony.

You have more computer power in your cell phone than the manned flights to the moon 1969.

I actually possess specs of actual Moon dust. During the Apollo flight era, my father worked as a rep for a NASA contracting company (Hamilton Standard) that made the large rectangular backpack. After space flights, he would bring the backpacks back for inspection and analysis. A Moon base will mark the start of a new exciting era for Mankind, especially as viewed from any possible advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in our Universe.
