NASA has officially begun rollout of the Artemis 2 rocket to the launch pad ahead of a potential launch date as early as February. The move marks a significant milestone for the mission that will carry four astronauts on the first crewed trip to the Moon in more than 50 years.
On Saturday, NASA transported its Artemis 2 rocket to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. The 98-metre (322-foot) rocket began its 4-kilometre journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building early in the morning, with the move taking until nightfall to complete. Thousands of the space centre's employees and their families gathered to witness the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's long-awaited rollout.
