NASA calls this the "water deluge system of protection against the overpressure of ignition and suppression of sound" and it is really a sight to behold. The recently released video of one of the tests, conducted on October 15, shows the dramatic action.

An explosion took place last week at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida – but it was just water and it was not an accident.

"Changes were made to the pad after a previous wet flow test, increasing system performance". In a new video posted on YouTube, NASA presents its incredibly powerful water system that will keep calm during the upcoming launch of Boeing's Space launch system.

"The test is part of the preparation for the launch of our Space Launch System rocket during mission 1 and subsequent missions".

The images of the exploit have become viral while the pressure jets of the space agency pull water at 30 meters high.

EM-1 is expected to take off at the end of 2019 or early 2020 in an unprepared mission that will test critical systems before future missions with astronauts on board.

"Exploration Mission-1 is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will allow human exploration towards the Moon and Mars," NASA said.

"This will open a trail that people will follow on the next Orion flight, pushing the boundaries of the envelope to prepare for this mission."
