"Go for Launch!"

In less than 3 hrs, Artemis II begins the sexiest, coolest, spaciest drive-by since 1972.

Photograph of the yellow orange Artemis II rocket held between white towers, holding it in place, firmly until launch time. The view is from the bottom, looking up and in the far distance right hand corner, you can see the moon in the pake afternoon blue sky. The moon hovers pale and silvery, the long-term destination for NASA's Artemis program
