NASA has posted an infographic about the new rocket being built in New Orleans. They hope to do an unmanned test with the orion module in December of this year. It is over 300 feet tall, 70 metric tons, and much more powerful than either the Saturn V or the Space Shuttle with 8.4 million pounds of thrust (the maximum lift of 210 construction site tower cranes working together at 40,000 pounds per crane).
