In the center is Bob Cabana, NASA associate administrator and former director of Kennedy, and to the right is Susie Perez Quinn, NASA chief of staff. While inside the VAB, Nelson had the opportunity to view the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket as preparations for the Artemis I launch continue. The first in an increasingly complex set of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, as well as establish a sustainable presence on and around the Moon.
