This past weekend, the Artemis II rocket was rolled out to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. It is to take humans to the moon for the first time since Apollo.
The first crewed spaceflight of NASA’s Artemis program will break records, achieve historic firsts, and pave the way for America’s return to the Moon.
NASA says Artemis II is a major step toward returning humans to the moon — and eventually sending astronauts to Mars. For the public, the name-submission campaign offers a fun, symbolic way to be part of that next chapter in space exploration. Over 1.8 million boarding passes have been claimed as of Monday afternoon.
