You read correctly! A rocket will launch from Mars

from Space Connect Podcast Hosted by Momentum Media

Gilmour Space Technologies is building a system that can abort a rocket launch on its own if any abnormality is detected. On this week's Space Connect Podcast, Adam Thorn and Bella Richards discuss the system that Gilmour is creating with SENER Aeroespacial, and whether this will save future launches more time and money. Next, the team chats about the American government's plan to deorbit the International Space Station in 2031, and whether that shows a transition into the commercial market, or if there is a more sinister reason, such as the breakdown of international partnerships in space. Lastly, the crew discusses NASA choosing Lockheed Martin to build a rocket that will launch from Mars for the first time ever to bring back samples of the Red Planet to Earth, and what this huge mission will look like.
