Today was Artemis 2 Orion day as the crew visited their capsule and looked over the progress as this mission pushes forward for a historic return trajectory around the moon by a crewed vehicle.
The excitement and anticipation by this crew and the media who were able to ask questions was palpable. This event was held in the historic Neil Armstrong Operations & Checkout Building with untold Apollo and Shuttle history inside these hallowed walls.
Also pictured are the Artemis 3 Orion moon landing crew capsule in its current stage and the Artemis 4 Orion capsule in its current state of build.
