ARTEMIS II: 72 HOURS UNTIL THE “GIANT” WALKS
In exactly three days, the 322-foot Artemis II rocket will take its first steps back to the launch pad. After weeks of high-stakes repairs inside the VAB, NASA has confirmed that the seals are holding, the batteries are charged, and the crawler-transporter is idling. On March 19, the “Giant” returns to Pad 39B.

Artemis II Update
While we wait for the rollout, the crew—Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy—are finishing their “Lunar Observation” training at Kennedy Space Center.
The Scientific Eye
They won’t just fly around the Moon—they’ll act as human sensors, spotting meteor impacts and unique mineral regions on the lunar surface.
The “Nell” Legacy
Today marks 100 years since Robert Goddard’s first liquid-fueled rocket. It only flew 41 feet, but it paved the way for modern rockets like SLS.
Rollout Journey
The massive rocket will travel 4 miles from the VAB to the launch pad, a slow 8–10-hour trip watched live by millions.
Final Checks
Engineers are sealing the Orion spacecraft panels—once closed, they won’t open again until the crew is 250,000 miles from Earth.
We have passed the Flight Readiness Review. The hardware is “Go.” The crew is “Primed.” The only thing left is the 4-mile walk to the finish line.

Today we celebrate 100 years of rocketry. Robert Goddard’s rocket went 41 feet; Artemis II will go 250,000 miles. If you could send a message to the pioneer Robert Goddard today, what would you tell him about how far we’ve come?
