"Artemis 2 Astronauts Leave Their Mark on Moon Rocket Ahead of Launch"

The crew of the Artemis 2 moon mission, including the first Black person to leave low Earth orbit, the first woman, and the first non-American, signed their names on the adapter for their Orion spacecraft, which will be mounted on top of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The adapter will serve as a barrier to prevent gases from entering the spacecraft during launch. The crew has been undergoing training and formulating procedures for the mission, which is set to launch in late 2024.
