NASA's Artemis II mission marks a pivotal moment in space exploration, with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule now positioned at Kennedy Space Center. The four-mile rollout took twelve hours, underscoring the complexity of this $4 billion project. A successful wet dress rehearsal in late January will determine if the April launch proceeds.
The mission—delayed from late 2024—will send four astronauts on a lunar flyby, testing systems for future crewed landings. Meanwhile, Congress debates the program's soaring costs, as the SLS remains years behind schedule despite fifteen years of development. Only one uncrewed test flight has occurred since 2022.
