NASA rolls Artemis 2 rocket to the pad ahead of historic moon launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The rocket that will launch the next humans to the moon is rolling to the pad for its historic mission, which could lift off just a few weeks from now.

NASA is targeting Feb. 2 for the wet dress rehearsal. Feb. 6 is the earliest possible launch day for Artemis 2, which will fly NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard the Orion spacecraft on a roughly 10-day mission around the moon.
