Your Name Could Journey to the Moon on NASA's Artemis II Mission

WASHINGTON - NASA has rolled out its massive SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft ahead of the Artemis II mission -- and your name could be part of the journey. The rocket, which will carry four astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, was moved to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center as testing begins for a possible launch as early as February. NASA says names submitted by the public will be stored on an SD card aboard Orion, meaning your name could literally travel to the Moon and back when the mission launches.

They will not land, but instead fly around Earth's satellite. Artemis II is a key step toward returning humans to the lunar surface and eventually sending astronauts to Mars.
