    Rocket exhibit at National Space Centre pulls off unintentional NASA SLS impression

    The National Space Centre in Leicester, England, unintentionally recreated NASA's SLS rocket fueling issues with a malfunctioning water bottle rocket exhibit. The U.S. rocket in the display leaked water and failed to launch properly, while the Soviet rocket worked as intended. The museum attributed the issue to broken bands holding the bottle in place, awaiting replacement parts.
