You’re looking at a test of the SLS or Space Launch System performed by NASA at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. This is a test of the Four RS-25 engines which were used on the original Space Shuttle in the 1980s and eventually will launch the Artemis I mission to the moon. During the test, the engines generate 1.6 million pounds of thrust which is what will be needed for the actual launch! Learn more at NASA All photos and videos are in the public domain.
