00:00Hey space fans, Josh Dinner here with space.com. I'm about to hop on a helicopter.
00:04We're going to go take to the air over the Kennedy Space Center and take a look at the
00:08space launch system for Artemis II. It's sitting at the launch pad right now. We're going to fly
00:11by the VAB, the Vehicle Assembly Building, and see how close we can get to the rocket. Should be fun.
00:16We are taken to the sky here on the space coast of Cocoa Beach. We're going to go see SLF
00:20from the air. Here we go!
01:04The VAB is behind me there. You can see SpaceX facilities right over there. SLF is sitting
01:09in launch complex 39 feet. Stay with space.com where we can show you all the cool stuff.
01:23Now, SLF stands at 322 feet. We're flying at about 400 feet right now. They're just a little
01:31taller than SLF. And look how high we are. Flying over the port gives you an idea just how tall
01:38the rocket is.
