NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration rolled the SLS rocket back to Launch Pad 39B on March 20. Launch window opens April 1. Ten-day trip around the Moon.

SpaceX is building a reusable alternative at a fraction of the cost. But right now, four astronauts and 53 years of waiting. April 1 is a couple days away.
