SPACE ECONOMY
NASA has transported the Artemis 2 rocket system to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral as preparations for the first crewed moon mission in over fifty years advance. The launch, originally scheduled for February, is now postponed to March due to issues encountered during a wet dress rehearsal, including fueling interruptions and equipment malfunctions.
The Artemis 2 mission aims to send astronauts close to the moon but will not involve a landing. The crew will conduct tests from a distance of approximately 7,400 kilometers from the moon.
