NASA's SLS Rocket Sheds Saturn V Color Scheme in Design Review

NASA's next-generation rocket has a new look. The space agency has revealed a reworked color scheme for the Space Launch System heavy-lift booster, removing the paint from one major component, while adding "racing stripes" to another. The new appearance was rolled out on Thursday (Oct. 22) with the announcement that a critical design review (CDR) had been completed.
