NASA holds a news conference as it prepares to launch three U.S. astronauts and one Canadian astronaut on the first crewed lunar voyage in more than half a century. The 10-day flight around the moon will mark the second Artemis mission, the successor to the Apollo program from the Cold War era. The U.S. space agency said Artemis II is targeted to lift off no earlier than February 6, from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. #NASA #ArtemisII #Artemis #Apollo #KennedySpaceCenter
