CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA — Getting a peek inside their ride to the moon was a profound moment for the astronauts of NASA's Artemis 2 mission.

The Artemis 2 crew inspected the Orion spacecraft that will send them around the moon no earlier than November 2024 and are excited for what the milestone will bring, they told reporters here at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Tuesday (Aug. 8).
