Moon Mission
NASA has begun a critical two-day wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission at Kennedy Space Center, simulating launch procedures without engine ignition. The test involves loading the Space Launch System rocket with over 700,000 gallons of propellant and could pave the way for a crewed launch as early as February 8. This marks preparation for the first human trip beyond low Earth orbit since 1972.
