TIME Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (TIME MagazineInstagram)「Since the final Apollo lunar mission returned home in 1972, @nasa’s crewed #space program has pursued much narrower goals, contenting itself with dog paddling in low Earth orbit. And since the final #NASA space shuttle stood down in 2011, the U.S. has not even had its own way to get astronauts into space, instead buying seats—at a cool $80 million per round trip—aboard #Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft. Now, though, there is a renewed focus on lunar dominance, writes Jeffrey Kluger. In March, Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the newly re-established National Space Council (it had been disbanded since 1993), announced that the #Trump Administration would put Americans on the moon by 2024. Getting to the moon, though, begins with the problem of figuring out a way to get very heavy machines to move very fast. In this photograph: one of the four engines that will be used, along with two solid rocket boosters, to launch @nasa’s moon rocket and ascend it into space.
