The #SLS will soar more than 100x faster than the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird on the planet. #NationalBirdDay pic.twitter.com/60caPXkn3v

Keith's note: Duh. So has every rocket that has gone into space for more than half a century. In the meantime NASA has yet to come up with avionics that can come close to matching the efficiently packaged, elegant wetware inside the small brain of a falcon.
Funny how NASA omits mention of the rocket named FALCON - you know - that reusable rocket that can take off and land - and then take off and land again - just like a real falcon - something that SLS will never be able to do.
