HOUSTON — The first astronauts to visit the moon in the 21st century can't wait for their trip.

The four astronauts of NASA's Artemis 2 mission to the moon, which could launch as early as Feb. 5 of next year, are deep in training for the first crewed lunar flight in over 50 years. They'll launch atop NASA's giant Space Launch System (SLS) rocket aboard an Orion spacecraft, whose name was revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 24) — "Integrity."
