as it has progressed,” says King. “Mark Ealand is our ironworkers superintendent on-site, and he is also doing a fantastic job, fully embracing every aspect of this project.” Mars is named after the God of War, and it is the second smallest planet in our solar system. Although the distance between Earth and Mars is constantly changing, it is estimated that they are 34 to 35 million miles apart. Flight time is calculated to be 150 to 300 days, depending on the speed of the launch and how much fuel is burned. SLS and Orion are scheduled to blast off by the end of 2018 on Exploration Mission-1. SLS and Orion are NASA’s next generation human spaceflight vehicles aimed at sending astronauts to asteroids, Mars and beyond.
