The Space Launch Systems rocket (SLS), with Orion atop it, left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at around 23:00 CET (22:00 GMT) on 17 March to begin its 6.5 km trip to Launchpad LC39B.
The first Artemis mission will send Orion to the Moon and back, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has travelled before. ESA’s European Service Module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and provides everything needed to keep astronauts alive, including water, oxygen, power and temperature control.
While the rocket will propel Orion to supersonic speeds, the rocket itself is moved slowly but securely to the launchpad. Traveling at a maximum speed of just 1.3 km/h, the 6.5-km voyage took nearly 12 hours to complete on a specially designed crawler vehicle.
Launching Orion and the European Service Module into Earth orbit and onto the Moon requires a huge amount of energy and the size of the mega-Moon rocket SLS is hard to convey in photos.
At 100 m tall, it is roughly the height of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, UK, or 16 giraffes stacked on top of each other. If you laid the rocket on the ground, it would take over a minute to walk from the engines to the tip of the launch abort system.

The third and final aeroshell, at left, for Orion's Launch Abort System (LAS) is in High Bay 4 of the Vehicle Assembly Building on July 12, 2018, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The aeroshell was shipped from EMF Inc. on nearby Merritt Island. Technicians prepare the aeroshell to be lifted off of the flatbed truck and transferred to slats. All three aeroshells will be stacked and prepared for a full-stress test of the LAS, called Ascent Abort-2 (AA-2) flight test, scheduled for April 2019. During the test, a booster will launch from Space Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, carrying a fully functional LAS and a 22,000-pound Orion test vehicle to an altitude of 31,000 feet and traveling at more than 1,000 miles an hour. The test will verify the LAS can steer the crew module and astronauts aboard to safety in the event of an issue with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket when the spacecraft is under the highest aerodynamic loads it will experience during a rapid climb into space.

Awesome Matte SLS @ Puerto Banus, Marbella, Malaga, Spain. I was lucky enough (finally!!) to get it with the wing up! The driver allowed me to take the picture before jumping into the car (btw, it was a renting...)
On the move! >>> Take a look at this short clip too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt4BQS0DlL8
Basic Street Series Majorette models increasingly mean no opening parts anymore as can be seen by the cast shut gull wing doors on this newly recoloured Mercedes-Benz SLS. That is basically the sum of what cost cutting is required to make a budget Majorette these days, you'll still find clear lense lights which always gives a model that extra bit of authenticity, suspension and intricate detailing on all four sides not to mention a more weighty feel. This SLS looks truly stunning and notably bright and crisp in this all white finish, surely one of the best 1/64 versions out there for the price! Bought recently from Morrisons as part of a new selection of Majorette. Mint and boxed.

At a glance: technical highlights* of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Aluminium spaceframe: this design realised for the first time by Mercedes-Benz combines intelligent lightweight construction with great strength – thereby supporting the outstanding driving dynamics of the SLS AMG. The bodyshell weighs a mere 241 kilograms.
Standard
Adaptive front airbags: the front airbags can deploy in two stages, depending on the severity of the impact.
Standard
Aerodynamic balance: the SLS AMG combines optimum handling stability with a low drag coefficient and low wind noise.
Standard
AMG alubeam silver: this new process - a world first - makes the paint finish shine like liquid metal, with specific light reflections that give even more life to the painted surface. Thius effect is made possible by microscopic, 30 to 50-nanometer small pigment particles.
Optional
AMG DRIVE UNIT: integrated into this are the rotary control for the transmission modes, the engine starter button and keys for the ESP® functions, the AMG memory function and the extendable rear aerofoil.
Standard
Bi-xenon headlamps: gas-discharge lamps for low and main beam improve safety at night.
Standard
Carbon-fibre drive shaft: as in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM racing touring cars, the drive shaft is of carbon-fibre. Although the shaft has to transfer 650 newton metres of torque from the engine to the double-declutch transmission, it weighs only 4.7 kilograms.
Standard
Differential lock: the mechanical multi-plate differential lock ensures improved traction in any road conditions.
Standard
Diffusor: integrated into the rear bumper, the diffusor directs the airflow from the underfloor upwards, acting together with the aerofoil to prevent unwanted uplift at the rear axle.
Standard
Double-declutch transmission: the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7‑speed sports transmission has four driving modes including the RACE START function. Other attributes: fast gearshift response with virtually no interruption in tractive power, a tailor-made control strategy and increased gearshifting comfort.
Standard
Double wishbone suspension: with this technology familiar from motor racing, the wheel location and suspension functions are separate.
Standard
E-SELECT lever: its shape is reminiscent of a jet plane's thrust control. The driver is conveniently able to change between R, N and D by touch-control of the drive-by-wire system.
Standard
3-stage ESP®: the three modes "ESP ON", "ESP SPORT" and "ESP OFF" are available at the touch of a button.
Standard
Flow-formed light-alloy wheels: the manufacturing process allows lower wall thicknesses in the area of the rim base, while improving long-term rigidity. The weight saving versus conventional light-alloy wheels is around 1.1 kilograms per wheel.
Standard
Gullwing doors: with an opening angle of 70 degrees, the unique gullwing doors allow convenient access and egress.
Standard
Front-mid-engine: the AMG V8 engine installed behind the front axle provides the ideal conditions for perfect handling dynamics, with precise self-steering characteristics, first-class agility, low inertia during fast directional changes and outstanding traction.
Standard
Generator management: whenever the engine is on the overrun, kinetic energy is used to charge the battery rather than being uselessly converted to heat in the usual way. Conversely, the generator is switched to load-free mode when accelerating, which relieves the engine load. The result is a reduction in fuel consumption.
Standard
Smooth underbody: the almost completely panelled underbody reduces aerodynamic drag and helps to avoid uplift at the rear axle.
Standard
Rear aerofoil: attractively integrated into the boot lid, the aerofoil extends at 120 km/h aus and avoids unwanted uplift at the rear axle.
Standard
High-performance composite braking system: with this composite technology derived from motor racing, the grey cast iron discs are mounted on an aluminium bowl. This ensures perfect heat conduction and first-class fade resistance even in the gruelling conditions of the racetrack.
Standard
LED gearshift indicator: seven LEDs coloured white, yellow and red indicate the need for an upshift if the SLS AMG driver has selected the manual transmission mode and the engine speed is approaching its maximum.
Standard
High-performance ceramic composite braking system: by virtue of their greater hardness, the ceramic brake discs have even higher temperature resistance, and also contribute the benefits of 40 percent less weight.
Optional
Kneebag: in the event of a frontal impact, an additional airbag can help to protect the legs of the vehicle occupants.
Standard
Twin-wire arc spray coating (LDS): the advantages of this technology patented and exclusively used by AMG are extremely low friction and wear, as well as long-term durability of the cylinder walls.
Standard
Magnesium backrests: the backrests of the sports seats are of magnesium, a high-tech material that excels with low weight and high strength. This has considerable advantages in terms of the weight balance and a lower centre of gravity.
Standard
Matt paint finishes: with their matt silk surface, "designo magno allanite grey" and "AMG monza grey magno" reinforce the sporty character of the Gullwing model through specific contouring of the crease lines.
Optional
Performance suspension: with an approx. ten percent stiffer spring setup and 30 percent stiffer damper setup, the Performance suspension is recommended for the racetrack.
Optional
Forged pistons: the eight forged pistons of the AMG M159 engine weight a total of 0.5 kilograms less than the cast pistons of the basic M156 engine.
Standard
Forged wheels: forged AMG light-alloy wheels are 14 percent lighter than the Flow Forming wheels fitted as standard, thereby reducing the unsprung mases even further.
Optional
Tubular steel exhaust headers: with their precisely coordinated tube lengths, these improve the gas cycles for a considerable increase in output and torque. These exhaust headers are another technology borrowed from motor sports.
Standard
Superplastic forming: this enables multi-part components to be dispensed with during the production process for the outer door skin and interior. This not only saves weight, but also simplifies the production process.
Standard
Surround sound system: the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG surround sound system with Dolby Digital 5.1 provides an exclusive listening experience at the highest level. The system has an amplifier with a total output of 1000 watts, 11 loudspeakers and a digital sound processor.
Optional
Transaxle arrangement: locating the double-declutch transmission at the rear axle allows a weight distribution of 47 percent (front) and 53 percent (rear) which benefits handling dynamics.
Standard
Dry sump lubrication: this technology derived from motor racing allows a lower installed position for the V8 engine. As a positive side-effect, the engine is reliably lubricated even under the high lateral acceleration encountered on the racetrack.
Standard
Topology optimisation: the cast components of the aluminium spaceframe are specifically weight-optimised: ribbed structures precisely follow the force paths, and wall thicknesses are reduced to a minimum in less highly stressed areas.
Standard
Torque tube: this forms a rigid connection between the engine and transmission, ensuring the best possible transfer of forces.
Standard
Ultra-high strength, hot-formed steel: this is used in the A‑pillars to improve occupant safety even further.
Standard
Four-way lumbar supports: these provide the driver and passenger with effective lower back support.
Optional
Two-zone seat cushions: prominent side bolsters with a harder foam filling provide optimal lateral support, while the inner areas of the seat cushion and backrest are softer for a high level of comfort on long journeys.
Standard

4 SLS on this photo, maybe you know other shots in my stream there you can see the SLS's in the back.
Sadly this C197 Gullwing Mercedes is not being produced anymore but thankfully its new successor the C190 starts production in Sindelfingen Stuttgart soon. The new C190 successor will compete with the Porsche 911 directly and will lose the distinctive Gullwing doors. Here is the link to the successor to the beautiful Gullwing C197.www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/mercedes-gt-amg-erste-mo...

I bring you ladies and gents another SLS AMG. The same dealership as well. My buddy Mike again told me they just got another one in on the floor and wanted me to take a few shots. This AMG is much different from the first one I shot. Full specs are coming soon!
I used the same editing styles as the last AMG but changed up the levels a bit to give the photo it's own character. I really do like how everything turned out with this shot. I was limited with space so I had to work with the space I was givin.
Hope you all enjoy!
