NASA's next moon rocket is on the launch pad for testing, and you can follow its progress live.

The agency has bumped up the wet dress rehearsal to increase its chances of launching within the February window, but could an Arctic blast interfere?

This historic Artemis II launch is NASA's first mission to the lunar vicinity in over 50 years.

Back in 2024, Lego delivered an excellent (and huge) Icons model of the NASA Artemis Space Launch System. With a price tag of $260, a footprint of 10 x 11-inches and a height of 27.5-inches, however, not everyone has the budget or space to accommodate it. For those people, enter the brand new Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket.

NASA’s Artemis II rocket has reached its launch pad after a painstaking overnight crawl across Kennedy Space Center. Engineers are now preparing for crucial fueling and countdown tests ahead of the first crewed Artemis mission.

The four people preparing to fly around the Moon on Artemis II are already living as if launch day has begun. Long before they strap into Orion, their bodies, immune systems, and exposure to germs are being managed as tightly as any rocket valve or guidance computer.

Before NASA can decide a rocket launch date for Artemis 2, the giant SLS rocket has to ace a critical fueling test known as a wet dress rehearsal.

NASA had planned to run its wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission at Kennedy Space Center as early as Saturday, but it will have to thread the needle before temperatures drop below the agency’s limits for the tanking test.

NASA is racing toward its first crewed trip around the Moon in more than fifty years, but the countdown is unfolding under an unusual cloud of technical unease. The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts around the Moon and back in the Orion capsule,
