NASA holds a news conference as it prepares to launch three U.S. astronauts and one Canadian astronaut on the first crewed lunar voyage in more than half a century. The 10-day flight around the moon will mark the second Artemis mission, the successor to the Apollo program from the Cold War era. The U.S. space agency said Artemis II is targeted to lift off no earlier than February 6, from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. #NASA #ArtemisII #Artemis #Apollo #KennedySpaceCenter

After months of meticulous preparation, NASA's 32-story-tall Space Launch System rocket, the most powerful operational booster in the world, was hauled to its seaside launch pad Saturday in Florida, setting the stage for a long-awaited flight next month to send four astronauts on a trip around the moon. | CBS News
