Artemis II Crew Suiting and Walkout

From left to right, NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist; Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander; Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot; and Artemis II mission specialist and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen play the board game “Sorry” inside the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025. During launch day, NASA flight crews have a tradition of playing a board or card game before leaving the crew quarters ahead of launch until the commander loses so that the commander burns off all his or her bad luck before the flight. During a two-day operation, the Artemis II team practiced night-run demonstrations of different launch day scenarios like suit-up operations, walk-out, and arriving at the launch pad for the Artemis II test flight.
