Artemis II Moon Rocket Thread

My nerdy space nephew is camping with Boy Scouts right now and is very upset that he is missing this. Hopefully his dad, who is a leader, can stream it for them

Lord, please protect them. Those of us who have seen tragedy, remember too well

Amen

Ok, so, question. Is Orion the name of the space craft? I thought it was Artemis II?

Artemis is the program name (like Apollo). The Orion module is the crew capsule, which this crew named Integrity.
